Progress with the C/10
Here's what the C/10 looked like when I got it. Pretty high on the grandpa side huh?
![]() ![]() Here's what it looks like now after having the front sheetmetal and doors re-aligned and the roof repainted. I also blacked out the windows removed the bedrails and added a spray-in bedliner. I had to paint the rallies back silver, I couldn't do the black rims. ![]() ![]() Oh should I mention I also added a health dose of Early Classic drop to the tune of 3.5" front and 6" rear. I plan on ordering some new tires and wheels in the next week or so but I am yet undecided on what I am going to buy. I am thinking 17" slots or Torque thrust. Any suggestions? |

Re: Progress with the C/10
Looks great. So is it still the wife's ride or yours now?

Re: Progress with the C/10
Right on. Exactly where a truck should sit.
Could you please get me a measurement between the axel and frame ? I would like to see if my 6" is about the same as a Box kit.

Re: Progress with the C/10
Very nice ride.. Getting rid of the grandpa bed rail things was a great choice too.

Re: Progress with the C/10
Very nice upgrades. I scrolled up and down for 5 minutes to absorb the shock of difference.

That looks beautiful, the drop you are mentioning -- was it just the springs?

Re: Progress with the C/10
Thanks for the measurements.
I am running Western 2.5 spindles and a 1" coild along with 7" van rallys and they clear the lower controll arm. I guess it's a good thing 2 of the 8" would not balance up Eh ?
