shortbox stance

[c10 custom]

hi guys i was wanting to know is anyone on here that has pictures of a truck
from 1967-72 with 5 inch drop on the front and 5 inch drop on the back with
15 inch tires thanks guys

[octane]

My avatar pic is a 4/6 drop with 15" tires. I know not exactly what you are looking for, but, that's all I have.

thank you for the reply octane

Well, if we're doing 4/6, here's where mine started. Actually, it's 4.5/6 (spindles and springs). No matter that there are no front finders. Motor wasn't in it, anyway.

But this may tell you the basic stance with 15's.

The second pic is the same suspension set up with 20's a little later in the build..

5/5 may be a little hard to come by. Mine is 4/6 ECE with 15" but the rear seems to be more of a 5" stance in the rear. Think she was short of fuel in the relocated tank in this picture. Bring the front up an inch and I think you got what you are looking for.

You'll need 3" spindles and 2" springs for the best 5" front drop. It'll have quite a rake though you'll have to realize. Look at the rake on a 4/6 and add 2" more. rake to it... Obviously it's the same rake as the factory has, but as you lower the truck it is much more noticeable...

would you have to c-notch the frame if you go with a 5 inch drop coil in the back

[VA72C10]

There are people with 6" drops with no c-notch....so no...you don't have to...but if you plan to haul a lot in the bed you should notch it....and if you plan to haul (or tow) I'd recommend the HD CPP notch or a notch with plating added on the inside as well

i wonder if 295/50 series would look good on the back

I have those on mine with a 5 inch drop. I love the width but am not really thrilled about the way they fill the wheel wells, a little short for my liking.

Something else to consider is the shock relocation brackets. Anything over 3-4" I'd suggest them. (Notched or not..)

Boss 338 20's. 8.5" fronts with a 1" spacer. 10.0" with a 1.5" spacer out back.

Tires are 245/40's and 275/45's

[Rickey]

here is picture of mine it has a 4.5 front and 5 in the rear. I have 20's on front and back

[octane]

Here is a larger image of my '71. 4/6 Early Classics, 275/60 on rear, 255/60 on front.

The black truck has a 6" drop in the rear and 295/50's all the way around.

[JWSmith]

I got the 4.5/6 ECE drop but I want it as level asi can get it...trying to figure out what tire size will help me do that.

Thanks to all for the replies on this thread. It's a big help.

Octane, Where did you get your t-70's? Are they 8's and 10's? Love those wheels, I want some for my square!

[68streetrod]

should be right at 5 / 5 drop with 15's. Had front lower but raised it up a inch just didn't like the ride

[chopnchaneled]

I ran across the T-70's at a show in Pigeon Forge, TN a few years ago. They were in excellent shape, and I couldn't pass them up. They are 8's all the way around. Those wheels seem to look good on anything.
