My first Chevy was a '48 Fleetline I got for $55.00 in '62. I heated the lower two coils on the front springs. that lowered it about 31/2". On the back I used blocks. I drove it for several years,many trips to Santa Cruz. Never a problem if you don't count the rod through the pan.But at least the pan was close to the road! The guy I sold it to drove it all over California. It steered fine,but I'd been driving Fords for so long and was so happy to have something where the doors stayed closed,the windows rolled up, and didn't have to be parked on a hill,maybe I overlooked the steering. I wouldn't do it that way now.
