Re: 1966 c10 rear end
...on fleetsides it"s a safe bet to trim 1-1 1/2" out of the rear fender lip...start at 1" and adjust from there...

Re: 1966 c10 rear end
The '71 and up rear ends are 1.5" wider than the '70 and older rear ends. If I'm not mistaken, the stepsides have slightly less room for tires than the fleetsides.

Stepside with notched frame and lowered about 5-6", with almost 14" of tire under it on a 12inch wide rim. Bed is cut tho.
