Drop Control Arms that narrow the track of 3rd gen C10? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anybody make a drop control arm set for the front of the C-10 that would narrow the track of the vehicle also, even if it is only an 1" or 2 at the most?

And discuss any issues as far as tire rubbing frame if any.

I need to narrow the track just a bit for fender clearance just a bit. I have thought about wheel backspacing and am real close, just would like a bit more just for good measure.

What's your definition of a "3rd Gen" C10?

1973 to 1987. I have an '81 Chevy frame that the '55 is sitting on. So suspension questions will all be relative to the '81 frame.
Thanks

CPP sells a drop spindle that helps reduce track width & narrowed a-arms can help even more. Try Porterbuilt or Michigan Metal Works for narrowed arms.

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... *Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.*
