Re: Just bought a 57
If I do anything to this truck it'll be just the springs. However I'm thinking the springs up front and 2" shackles out back. I think I'd prefer a slight rake.
I do have a concern in the back, the wheels are out pretty close to the fender, stock rear, well almost stock a early 60's 12 bolt which is supposedly exact width as 57 original rear. One tire is a little closer then the other, normal body/bed not exactly centered on frame. I'd be concerned that the rear tires rub with the 3" springs back there. Besides the springs front and back do look level and a 1" rake would be preferable for me(and cheaper). I can get custom smoothies with more back space to suck in the rears but that's just more money, I'll probably flip this truck before long, a shame though because the truck is absolutely rust free. Not a patch panel anywhere it's entire life.
