The way I look at it is if I can't use it why build it! :) its between 6-8 spring lift. Measures 11 in from top spring pad to bottom frame up front, measures 27 in to bottom of frame, 5.5 blocks 2in add aleafs and one ton truck springs in rear. Next thing will be shackle flips.

Hi, Just restoring this C30. I live in the UK. It is nearly finished, just need some wiring and interior trim, the rear end now has alluminum chequer plate instead of the bumper. It is ex-military - made from a few different trucks I think. Straight 6 with a 350 box.
These are the before and after pics.
8 lug wheels and other parts are hard to find over here.
Hope you guys like what we get up to over here in Blighty!!
