What's the max width I can put on a 1962 C10 stepside?

Max width what?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Oh sorry the max width tire I wan to go wide without altering the body. If I go with a nine inch wide rim, what is the max width I can do without scrubbing my tires?

Depends on how low you want to go I have a pair of 275/55R17's on a 9 inch rim with a 5 inch drop in the rear but I had to roll the rear fender. That is a low as I can go right now without getting some bodywork done.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Too many factors there... simplify... set the truck where it's gonna ride... measure from the inside most obstruction (frame?) to the inside of the fender and subtract clearance..
(I use 3 inches)
My rear tires have almost a 22" section width but my frame isn't stock. I could squeeze a 15" tire in there when the frame wasn't altered..

Nice looking Burb! Do you have any more pics? Would be nice to see them in a larger scale as well.

Very nice truck, no corners cut on this build, I just checked out your photo account. Congrats on the final product. I hope to tear into my 65 shortbed like this with my son when he gets old enough, he's 4 now so there's still time:-) Great work.

Beautiful truck, & great stance! :metal:

Thanks guys. My uncle bought this truck new and I've had it since 1988. My son has claimed it as his since he was big enough to talk so I just left it on the back burner. 4 1/2 years ago when he was 12 he started whining to start working on it. Originally we were just going to paint it and put wheels on it but it kind of got out of hand, lol.
