As the Moderator, I would like to WELCOME YOU here.....
 I have a few friends with mid 60's Fords and they end up changing springs to lower them . A few cut a coil or two off the original spring.

If you want to keep the original geometry and springs, you can always cut the A-arms and offset with plates and gussets. (This would be the equivalent of that unavailable dropped spindle.) Really not all that difficult if you know what you're doing with a welder. Go to my photo gallery and you'll find a picture (not too difficult since it's the only picture there). In this case, a Pinto outer tip is being adapted to a British Sprite lower arm so I could use the Pinto spindles and brakes. Since the Sprite uses the shock absorber for the upper control arm, a custom tubular upper arm is shown in the picture. In your case, the same procedure would be used on both arms.
