Do you have a step side or fleet side bed? My truck has been lowered in the rear 3" with lowering springs and I'm using the stock 80's rally's wheels with 255/60/15's and there a pretty tight fit without modifying the fenders.

We need to see if others can speak to the possibility of getting those 10 inch wheels/tires under it with some backset wheels and or some fender mods.

Nice How to...

I've just installed the crossmember from an 84 C10 to my 66. I used everything from the 84.

The idler arm is way different from my 66. What's the best way to install it? I was just going to mount the steering gear and then drill/mount the idler arm last with eyeball checks... ha sounds kinda ify.

That is a '67-'87 style of idler arm. Member YatYas who originally posted that says his is from his '84 donor truck
