Street machine nationals C10 build
I am fairly new to the build forum. Here are some build pictures of my 1972 C10.. Just installed the Porterbuilt Dropmember Rear. Still waiting on my four link setup...
I am going to run the Boss (Grey) 338 wheel. 20x8.5 in front and 22x9.5 in rear... |

Re: Street machine nationals C10 build
Wheels and stance look killer. What other plans do you have for it?

Re: Street machine nationals C10 build
I love the truck man! Keep the updates coming!
I had a few questions about the wheels, What backspacing are you running? Are you running the narrow 67-69 rearend or the wider 70-72 rear? Did you have to run a spacer on the rear? Also did you have to shave down your front hubs for the fronts to fit? |

Re: Street machine nationals C10 build
Subscribed! Awesome build... Love the stance an wheel combo. I wish I would have left the gray centers in my 308's instead of chroming them. Nice ride....

Re: Street machine nationals C10 build
Thanks for all the posts...
Yes... I am running the stock 70 - 72 rear end on this truck... Don't think I will need spacer for the rear yet. Going to put the bed on this weekend. And.... Yes I had to spend about an hour on each front hub to get the front wheels to fit.. |
