Handivan Drop Axle

Looking for a drop axle for my 69 handivan.
Does anyone make one for my van?
Will one fit off a chevy truck of similar year?

Anyone know if chevy truck spindles will fit on the van axle
that would tell me that a truck drop axle might work..

How about drop spindles?

I dont really want to lower just in the leafs.. and I'm trying to stay away from blocks..

Thanks yall!

My goal...

any lowering tips at all?!

Thanks!

Aren't those solid axles on the front? I don't know early chevs, but my A100 and E100 are like that. Axles are heated and bent to move the spnidle mounts up, but not recommended. Seen a couple good bagged setups where leafs were removed from the stacks, in the Econoline sections... I'm sure some of the Chevy guys will chime in, but I don't think it's common to use a dropped axle. And Welcome!

good luck with the lowering....
i had a friend lower his '66 by flipping the axle front and rear and got his almost as low as the picture you posted but it was a lot of work to get all the "kinks' worked out. i think it rides fine but nothing like the stock setup with good equipment.
and lastly, i hope you find what you are looking for to lower yours because it seems like there are a lot of guys who thought about doing the same thing and are still wondering...
but the question gets brought up at least twice a year on message boards and besides searchin the archives, nothing much ever comes of it.
they do look cool lowered in photoshop pictures though.
good luck.

With the front springs fliped[img][/img][img] Both front & rear springs fliped[/img]

Need a block under the front flip to make it level, huh?

here is his lowered van next to mine...

Hi *james*

Nice photo, can I assume by looking at this photo that van on the left has 15" rims mounted on 60's series tires, they seem to tuck-in nicely & has that really great lowered look! Cheers!

they are 15" wheels but dont know the tire size. that van is my buddy's and i never look under it or at the tires after it got lowered. i can find out if anyone needs the info.
thats my van in the back and i did bodywork and lifted the rear end 3" to get the rake i wanted since this pic was taken...
