Stance Check - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I bought my '51 panel it was full stock ride height, about 10-12 inches high. Over the last 10 months I've made many suspension mods and today I finally got started mounting the front fenders so I could visualize the results. It's now about 5 inches high at the fenders. To say I'm pleased with it's new look is an understatement!

Damn sure it looks good. What suspension do you have?

Great !
AS long as the front bumper clears the cement bumpers and the re-bar pegs holding them to the lot !

Nice, body looks really straight, you are off to a good start. What's your drive train?

Looks good, that is right where I hope mine sits when it is done.

Thanks. It's been my experience that 5" is a good compromise of lowness and practicality.

I THOUGHT I had seen a picture from someone with their truck's front end and a soda can. Then again, maybe I'm losing my mind!!
