do all these trucks sit like this? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67ChevyC10Stepside · 04-03-2005, 07:12 PM

i put the bed on my truck today and hate the way it looks....

67ChevyC10Stepside · 04-03-2005, 07:13 PM

more...look at the space between the tire and the step fender....and this is just sitting there....doesnt even have the mounts on it yet...

jamis · 04-03-2005, 07:49 PM

the bed looks lined up with the cab....looks like someone jacked it up, dont remember ever seeing a stock one that high.

Longhorn Man · 04-03-2005, 07:54 PM

In addition to what he said, you have a pretty short tire on there...what is that, a 235/60? Put a 275/60 in there adn it'll look better, drop it an inch or two all around, and it'll look killer.

**Canadian694x4** · 04-03-2005, 07:55 PM

It does look a little high...

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-03-2005, 07:57 PM

PUT A 4/6 ON IT AND DRIVE THE HELL OUT OF IT

**tnblazerk5** · 04-03-2005, 08:01 PM

my 67 sat like that when i got it . it had heavy duty springs on it and i took those off and put reg springs on it and now i got 6( i think ) inch drop springs and its much better

CHEVIBUBBA · 04-03-2005, 08:02 PM

what mounts?
i'm no step side guru but, it don't look right to me.
could your shocks be stuck?
put some wieght in it & see if it settles.
try about 500#'s then bounce on it.
the front looks about right.
are the rear springs factory original?

Longhorn Man · 04-03-2005, 08:13 PM

Isn't it amazing how much a decent looking set of rims and a lowering job does on a beater?

That looks sweet as it sits.

They do sit a little high originally, it's just way more noticable on yours because of those tiny little tires.

Warbones · 04-03-2005, 08:27 PM

GQ What do you keep smacking with the front passenger side fenders?

LMAO AND ROTF

BOTH TRUCKS CAME LIKE THAT WHEN BOUGHT, HERE'S SOME BEGINNER PIC'S

AND NO, I DON'T OWN THE 96 SS ANYMORE, THE WIFE TRADED IT AWAY

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-03-2005, 08:43 PM

I would say it's just the small tires making it look like that...

jamis · 04-03-2005, 08:55 PM

even with the small tire...look at the lower body line across the rim. this blue truck is not mine put it may only have a 2" or 3" drop

*Randy70C-10* · 04-03-2005, 09:02 PM

That second truck is lowered, mine looks exactly like it (lowered 3 inches in the front and 4 in the back.

Solver · 04-03-2005, 09:09 PM

here is my original step No drop standard coil springs
your springs or coils must be heavy duty

70 shorty · 04-03-2005, 09:14 PM

Mine is not lowered and it has 235/75/15 tires on it. There is definitely not that much gap btwnt the tire and fender. I'm sure though after 35 years it has settled some. I have no idea if the coils have ever been replaced, but I would guess not.

mooneyes · 04-03-2005, 09:31 PM

here's mine stock height with 295/50/15's which probably arent much taller than what on there

i'm runnin the same tires on mine.though i must say, if i get within 100yds of those slots the criminal in me is gonna come out wielding a jack & 4way!

haven't seen any 'round here in a long while.guessing those on the back are 10" wide?looks great!

Longhorn Man · 04-03-2005, 09:38 PM

dooode, I forgot how sweet yout truck is...we need more pics man.
Wasn't it primer gray before?
I can't even tell where you dropped the cab onto the frame and broke the window.

69 Short Fleet · 04-03-2005, 09:52 PM

Some nice trucks on this thread! Mooneyes4b, that truck simply wicked looking. Anymore pics? I think the Old School look will never fade away, its just too cool! Doug

67ChevyC10Stepside · 04-03-2005, 09:55 PM

i have a set of 295 50 15s i set under it and it's like maybe a half inch taller than those...still looked like crap.....how much would drop springs run me?
