Re: 1971 c10 stepside
thanks, not my first choice for wheels but the had the matte look i was looking for since i already have billet intros on my other ride, i wanted something different , as for the tire size i did some research and the 285 are 700 thousands wider than the 265 so that makes it a 350 thousands split between inner outter wall which its about 11/32 of an inch so if i have to trim it will be minimal , im hoping , thanks again

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
well i got the suspension on friday but work and family activities has kept me away from the truck , so this morning i snuck in the garage for 2 hours before wife and kids woke up and took apart the front end , cleaned and sprayed with some more bedliner spray and made the cuts for rear c notch , oh and yes 2 more fregging rivets showed up on me , : hate them ,now off to friends house for red zone football ,

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
hello boyz , its been none stop raining for the past 4 days here in south florida , but that wont stop me , found shelter to do some painting in a parts shed , and put toghether most of suspension but i ran into a few misshaps ,

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
Great progress.
I do have a concern. I think you have your upper a-arms on the wrong side. This appears to be the "passenger side" upper a-arm mounted on the "drivers side".

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
I might be the picture hiding it, but on the lower control arm. There should be a bracket to the front in the middle of the tube for the sway bar link. I didn't see it in the picture so I was just wanting to make sure.
Great progress by the way. |

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
you are right, they sent some extra brackets in case i want to install in the future , they only welded the ones to the rear for the shocks ,
