Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
1.5 coil cut from stock front springs. Bump stop brackets completely removed. CPP disc/drop spindle kit, unknown used drop rear springs, drop blocks, small pipe notch, stock front wheels with 1.5" bolt on spacers, 8" vintage aftermarket chrome reverse wheels (slightly less backspacing than 8" blazer wheels), 215/75 and 235/75 tires. The front wheel spacers really help fill out the fenderwell while keeping the skinny front wheel/tire look.

Here's my 64 .....5.5" front and 8" rear. Perfect stance in my eyes.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
Not the best, but here's how my '63 ended up. I kept it pretty close to my old Super Gas/Street Chevy II.

I'm not sure why people are still posting on this thread. I posted my truck a long time ago.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
Thanks. 2 1/2 inch drop spindles and 2 inch drop springs in the front, and 4 inch drop springs in the rear. About as low as you can go without hitting anything or bagging it.

You do have a vary nice stance but I think he was talking to "Joe dirt". At least that is who he quoted.

I took that photo on Black Friday last year. Figured it was fitting to drive that vehicle that day.

That actually goes back to the 60s I also remember when it was just the opposite dropped in the back jacked up in the front

I like it especially because it makes a long bed look mean.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
Before on the left: CPP 2.5" modular drop spindles, 4" lowering springs, 454 w/iron heads. Lots of lower control arm scraping on semi-bumpy roads.
After on the right: CPP 2.5" modular drop spindles, 3" lowering springs, 454 w/iron heads. No more scrapes. Rears combo lowering springs and blocks.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
Here's mine. 2 1/2" drop spindles & 1" drop springs in front. 5" drop springs in the rear. no bed yet or full tank of gas so it will probably come down another inch or so in the rear.
