Re: On a 71 c10 step side

I've driven 4/6 lowered trucks continuously since the late 80s. For me they just work. I haven't ever torn anything up that required repair.

I have owned a couple that were lower and you really need to be familiar with the roads or very diligent or you'll bash your front arms onto something. My current project is going down from 5/6 to 6/8 and I wouldn't want to drive it at night over unfamiliar roads unless I wasn't being rushed by heavy traffic and could pay real close attention to where I was going.
