Re: c10 80 Silverado short box
I love it just like it is!!!!
and the stance is perfect... but everyone else here will probably tell you to lower it! The only thing I would do is add either a bumper or roll pan to the back, and some raised white letter tires!

Re: c10 80 Silverado short box
Looks like a clean truck. I have my opinions on what I would do but I`m going to keep them to myself. This is your truck and you need to decide on what you like. You need to tell us what things you want to do and then we can help you decide on what parts you may need or offer suggestions on how to get the look you are going for.

Re: c10 80 Silverado short box
Pretty sharp !! An even stance front and back and front tires same as the rear, with a chrome rear sports bumper. But that's just my opinion, what's yours ?

Re: c10 80 Silverado short box
Leave it just like that, the stance & wheels fit it great! Looks good

Re: c10 80 Silverado short box
Only thing I would do is add some kind of rear protection ( bumper or roll pan) and drive the thing

Re: c10 80 Silverado short box
Bienvenido!
Your truck looks great. We will all have different ideas and opinions on what to do with your truck, but I guess the biggest question would be - is there something about the truck you want to change, or think could be better if it was different? It's a very subjective world, when it comes to cars and trucks, so that's why I ask. A good rear bumper is worth it's weight in gold in an accident. Ask me how I know. But, other than that, how do you feel about the paint? Stance? Wheels/Tires? Etc.?

Re: c10 80 Silverado short box
I think your truck looks great the way it is. May be old fashioned...but in my opinion the closer to "stock original" condition the better. Have bought/sold many trucks over the years, and it seems the really nice "original" trucks always bring in more money.
