Hello ......

I recently purchased a very original 1978 stepside C10. It is all STOCK right down to the plaid tan bench seat & smaller than usable sport mirrors.

My ideas or "plan" is to lower it with a quality drop spindle & front spring. The rear with a flip kit & relocated shox.

Although I like the factory steel wheels, caps & rings the 235 sized tires are a bit inadiquite. I'm thinking 255/60/15's on the front & either 275 or 295 rears.

Eventually I'd like a set of TTII's or Coys but I'll spend cash on the "kits" first.

Your thoughts on equipment & possible vendors??

Thanks.

I'll post a pic or 2 as soon as my son re-sizes the pictures I have.
