Wanted drop I beams
I’m looking for a set of drop beams, doesn’t really matter who made them. Let me know if you’ve got anything. Located in East Tennessee but will pay shipping.

Re: Wanted drop I beams
Thanks, that's kind of what I was hoping for. To find someone doing a CV IFS swap. My truck is 100% original and holds a lot of sentimental value, I just have a hard time modifying it in a way that can't easily be reversed.

Harrison: I don't know how close you are to Marrieta, GA, but there's an old school shop there that may be able to get you "down" without buying beams.

Re: Wanted drop I beams
Look up Sid Drapal on Facebook or John Pennington. They both make drop I beams. Sids are stretched just like a drop axle and John's are fabricated from old beams. Both are excellent quality. I have a set of John's waiting to go on my '76 if you want to know what they look like.
Every day above ground is a good one

62bigwindow: The OP (Harrison) said he's looking for a set of drop beams, which would be for a twin I beam truck ('65-79)
Sid's has talked about doing drops for Twin I Beams, but if they finally did build the fixtures, they haven't added them to their webpage..........

Hes doing them now. Give him a call. There are current updates on his Facebook page. They offer 3" of drop. John's Rods offer 4.5''.jamesdfo wrote:62bigwindow: The OP (Harrison) said he's looking for a set of drop beams, which would be for a twin I beam truck ('65-79)
