Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Here is my 77. approximately 10.5" drop in the front, and about 8 or so in the rear, but not finished yet.

Not a c-10, but a c-20 with 20"s need to lower it next.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Added a 1" block to the rear.
Front is 4.5 with spindles and Hotchkis springs
Rear is 7" now.

Very happy with how she sits.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Here's mine, 5/4 with 18's, thinking about going another 1" in the rear, so as to have just a little rake.
Question though... if I get it aligned now, and lower it later, will that throw off my alignment? Like to do it
just once if possible.

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Good looking truck, 62much! Tossing a 1" block in the back won't cause issues with your front end alignment.

Didn't think so, but wasn't real sure.

Thanks

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Coming from you that means a LOT! I've worked my tail off on it. Oh yeah, it's got a nasty big block and a TREMEC 5 spd... Effortless burnouts at any speed and pulls 110 mph in 3rd gear (7000rpm!). I haven't worked up the nutz to run it out in 4th (hmmm, did I tighten all the nuts & bolts? )

Here's what's under the skin -

Thought those were his door handles and all I could think of was the name of his TV program. Thanks.

Wow, outstanding looking chassis!
