I love your truck. But I wouldn't venture an opinion on the stance unless you parked it on the flat on the street
(like across the street from the driveway and under the palm tree), and took a long shot to check it out.

No matter. The truck is wonderful at any stance.

But that way, we'd get to see another nice shot of your truck, too.

I installed 2 6X9 4 way speakers in my doors today and here is the picture on the flat street, under the palm tree, in front of the driveway you suggested I take (it was getting dark when I took the picture). What do you think?

To me...to my personal taste...that is stupendous.
A PERFECT stance.

Replaced the brake booster and master cylinder. Thanks to everyone yesterday for all the great bench bleeding advice!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Lets see..Installed and removed 9 headers...still trying to find a set that fits.

Shortys - 69648 - Fits 67-72 C20-C30 but not C10, kicks out to the side too much and hit frame, collector is in "C" channel, not ideal

Tri-Y's - no part number - Fit beautiful on the driver's side, pass side only hit;
1. frame
2. Brake Line
3. Starter
4. Cross Member
5. Lower A-Arm
6. Trans Cooler Lines

and the outlet points toward the flex plate cover

Mid Length - 68600 - fits Camaros and Chevelle - both front tubes hit upper engine stand offs, pass side a bit worse

Full Length - 69890 - Fits 67-87 C10- Pass side fits but hangs about 4" under frame, could not even get driver's side installed with almost everything removed

The copper colored ones are what I started with and the set that is going back in.

Hedman has a new Mid Length - 69016 - that no one stocks yet but they tell me they used an actual truck for fitment. The pass side looks good but the driver's side looks like it might drop a bit too soon. We'll see, if I can find a set.
