gave the chassis a bath with plastikote bed liner spray, its nice , it gives it a slight semi gloss rough look but not a muddy undercoating feeling , love the end results after hard work

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
285/35/22 on a stepper? I don't know man.. You leaving the stock fender wells, and/or mini tubs in the rear?
Hoping I'm wrong. Do you have the early rear end? 22x9 - 5"BS? What are the height / width specs on the rear tires? You're probably going to need to loose the support braces at least and/ or trim the fender lip a bit. Again, not meaning it negatively at all. I know a 265/40/22 - 5" BS with the early rear end requires trimming to fit. Assuming you're bagging the truck (?) Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 1971 c10 stepside
thanks for the info i can use all the help i can as i've never done an old chevy truck , i know for a fact i will have to modify or even delete the brace for the drop , as far as the lip , we measured and got the right back spacing it's 5. so i'll post how it turns out when they are on

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
Ok, cool. Best of luck to you on the build! It's already looking awesome. Nice choice on the wheels too.
|
Re: 1971 c10 stepside
thanks, not my first choice for wheels but the had the matte look i was looking for since i already have billet intros on my other ride, i wanted something different , as for the tire size i did some research and the 285 are 700 thousands wider than the 265 so that makes it a 350 thousands split between inner outter wall which its about 11/32 of an inch so if i have to trim it will be minimal , im hoping , thanks again

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
cool! love the way coys look on our trucks and the new finish will set it off!

well i got the suspension on friday but work and family activities has kept me away from the truck , so this morning i snuck in the garage for 2 hours before wife and kids woke up and took apart the front end , cleaned and sprayed with some more bedliner spray and made the cuts for rear c notch , oh and yes 2 more fregging rivets showed up on me , :no::no::no::no:: hate them ,now off to friends house for red zone football ,

Great progress.
I do have a concern. I think you have your upper a-arms on the wrong side. This appears to be the "passenger side" upper a-arm mounted on the "drivers side". |
