Great looking truck and I'll be happy to take that TKO600 off your hands!!! I loved the one I put in my '69 Camaro!!!

Jankin,

Can I ask where you got the 6 lug center caps with the Chevy bowtie? I'm looking for some like that and I think they were OEM on later trucks but what year? Is someone repop'n them?

thanks

They are 90-96 Silverado or Van Center caps. I got them from place called newtakeoff.com. If you go there you can search by vehicle and find them. They are used but the ones I received were in mint condition and came with the plastic lug nut covers for a very reasonable price. You can find the double threaded lug nuts on eBay.

Thanks much. I'll check them out.
Nice ride by the way. I like the stance. Just right. Forgot to mention that in my last post.

'62 GMC Long Bed sitting on the rear end...

eldogg · 10-05-2012, 06:21 AM

65 GMC 88+ up rear end, 20x10 Boss 338, 275/40/20
I moved the axle on top of the leaf springs using Moroso spring perches and removed the 2 of the 3 flat leafs. Tires barely rub the fenders. I'm just going to roll the fender lips flat.
We are doing a 73-87 crossmember swap up front with 3" DJM drop spindles and some cut coils.

1971sierragrande · 10-08-2012, 05:43 PM

eldogg, what is the back space on that wheel??

Cool stepside!
Looks like the use of the early 63-69 rearend with aftermarket 5-lug axles is the answer.
(since they are 3/4" per side narrower)
I'm going to try and remember this swap if I ever own a 60-66 truck.

How close is your tire to the bedside?

forestb · 10-09-2012, 12:11 PM

Ha Miayota where did you get your push through caps?

The 20x10 wheels are only offered in a 6.230 back space.

Thanks! I have about 3/4 between the tire and the bed side.

eldogg,

how low are you right now with those wheels? I'm trying to squeeze a 20x12 underneath my step fenders but I am lowering mine with the porterbuilt coilover dropmember. Not sure exactly how much it will lower it but they say the frame is only like 5.5" off the ground...I may have to do a 20x10 or 20x9.5... yuck

HouldenCaulfield · 10-29-2012, 03:41 PM

Maybe a dumb question, but what I gather, to do a drop spindle you have to convert to disc brakes, right?

I have a 1964 and want to do a 5/7 drop.
I checked with CPP and ECE, anyone else I can check out?

I think to get 20x12 under a stepside you will have to tub the bed. I only have about 3/4" clearance on the inside.

I just got my truck. Its a 1964 C10. It is stock.

I saw an add on craigslist for a hotchkiss 4" and 6" drop springs. What else would I need to get in order to install it in my truck? I called Summit Racing tech and he said I need to buy a shocks for the front and the rear. Is that all I need?

I plan on installing a power steering and disc brakes up front. I am still debating on converting to five lug. I have been looking at all the posts for a few days. I saw a post on redrilling the rear drums to 5x5.5" to match the front.

I will post pictures once I figure it out. Thanks for the advice.

I searched some of your posts, and I couldn't find more pics of this truck.
I would sure like to see more of this one.
