1970 gmc c10

Hi, just bought a GMC C10, been waiting since I was 20 yrs old to get one. My grandfather had one and loved riding in it. Just got what is the best way to lower it, love the way they look sitting low to the ground at a moderate level.

Welcome aboard. Do a search on lowering springs, coils, and spindles and grab some cold beers and read up. I have learned tons from the members here. Good luck!!!

Re: 1970 gmc c10

Lol, my first thread was called Best Lowering Components. Great minds think alike. Alot of guys recommend Early classics enterprises or ECE for drop kits. I'll be using a mix of Hotchkis ECE and CPP for my truck, a 4/6 drop on 20s. I can try and find the link but nothin would really help that wasn't already posted lol good luck and welcome from St Louis.

Re: 1970 gmc c10

Welcome from NC. You have found the right place to have all of your chevy truck questions answered. This place is the best resource I have found for these trucks from stock to modified someone has already done it and is willing to point you in the right direction so you don't make mistakes. Really hard to find places like this..
