This is the stance I'm looking for.
I'm trying to find out drop and tire size?

thirdstreettito · 03-01-2009, 12:31 PM

Never seen it before, but the paint remind me of 67ChevyRednecks truck.

Raguemoe · 03-01-2009, 04:34 PM

He posted awhile back. He had just put air bags on it with stock spindles & no Notch in the back. He said it was on bump stops all around.

dang i like that stance...

watcha think it'd be in....inches dropped f/r??

ChevLoRay · 03-01-2009, 04:46 PM

Static drop? I'd go with a 3.5/6. Dropped spindles plus 1-inch lower front springs up front from ECE. Out back, 6-inch shorter springs, an adjustable track bar, rear shock relocators and a replacment center cross member. ECE has it all.

oldblue1968chevy · 03-01-2009, 04:53 PM

im thinkin of doing 2.5 drop spindles/5"

all id need to get would be the spindles and the springs no c notch or nothing right?, then later if i dont like the raked effect i could get 1" front springs...

Mt Man Chad · 03-04-2009, 10:22 PM

Take 2 - Anybody know who's this C10 is?

BarryB · 03-04-2009, 10:30 PM

I can tell you who it isn't. It isn't mine, but it is a nice truck.

Ya I remeber something like that. I saved that pic but can't remeber his name or the thread.

ostncoln · 03-04-2009, 10:41 PM

it's almost sitting like mine. i have a 5/7 static (3" spindle 2" spring / 5" spring 2" bock) but the tires that are on it now are pretty small. 225/70/15

bigguy69 · 03-04-2009, 10:58 PM

i would like to know what size tire you are running.

**leddzepp** · 03-04-2009, 11:01 PM

That 68 is drop dead gorgeous whoever owns it.

72BlckButy · 03-04-2009, 11:08 PM

If you're planning on running a larger dia. wheel the lowest I would go with a static drop would be 4.5/6; that will provide adequate room for turning and suspension travel.

The '68 is sick!

the ones on it in trhat picture are 225/70/15. i have had my 85 c-10 factory wheels on the truck with 235/75/15 no problem, but with the b/s on those wheels they rub on the lower c/a more then the smoothies

Mondo · 03-04-2009, 11:52 PM

Mine is similar,
ECE 4/6 drop kit but 3 inch drop springs in front and 1 inch lowering blocks added in rear (plus C notch)... 255/275X60X15in tires

Mt Man Chad · 03-05-2009, 12:00 PM

Thanks guys!

Maybe the owner will surface soon.
From what I remember he lives out east.

Just curious about more details about the rig. The C10 I'm finishing up should look pretty close.
