Here's a link to that auction. Looks like the same truck but looks like it didn't sell.

Also, if it is the same truck (as beautiful as it is) it shouldn't be in this thread and here's why...

BrentRS1985 · 02-13-2014, 01:05 PM

Here are some very old pictures of mine (like 10 years ago). The paint did NOT hold up well over the years, and the engine didn't last either. It has sat for many years waiting for me to have the funds to finish it. I decided not to continue with the "race car" look because I like living, and going 130+ mph in these trucks, even with a cage, is not the safest thing. I'm currently making plans for an air ride setup with porterbuilt stuff, a ready to bolt in engine to get it moving and of course paint and body work. Should be done before the end of the year. It did look pretty cool set up like this though.

72BlckButy · 02-14-2014, 08:42 AM

I agree. Boris killed it on that one.

And it is Boris' simple setup with a cnotch added and a 2" block in the rear.

littlevictories · 02-23-2014, 07:31 PM

Axle flip with 2" blocks on 5leafs (prolly 8" drop or so) an 2" drop spindles and I believe cut coils (previous owner dropped the front but not back)

ivorton74 · 03-19-2014, 02:21 PM

Did u do a c notch?

K10mashup350 · 03-19-2014, 04:05 PM

Oh yeah... Wouldn't have any suspension travel if I didn't. From what I've read/heard anything more than 4" drop should have a notch, but some say you can run an axle flip without, but with the 2" blocks as well I needed it

1987Silverado · 03-19-2014, 05:26 PM

Heres my 87 dropped 6/8 on 275/45/20 tires.

Kool...my truck is dropped 4.5/6...i would like to go 6/8 but the roads around where i live are not the best...im still thinking about it though. I like how ur back wheels are tucked into the wheel well...thats the look i want

Ekliptix · 01-12-2015, 07:09 PM

4.5/6.25 ECE drop.
Front: 2.5" drop spindle, 2" drop spring.
Rear: 6" drop spring, 1/4" spacer.
275/60/15 all around. Some rubbing in the front over bumps, so I recommend a slightly more narrow tire up front.

Killer looking truck on 15's!

kkari · 04-27-2017, 11:32 AM

hey everybody!!

how much you got clearence to the ground with 4,5" front lowering? Lowest point of the lower A arm. Thanks! Here in Finland law says that i have to got atleast 80mm / 3,2"!!

K10mashup350 · 03-20-2014, 04:52 AM

Well what I did to get that was went to my machine shop an Drew up a basic spring/axle perch but the only difference was that I had him cut it I had him make it up where the perch was also the 2" block as well, so it was a 2in1 piece

ivorton74 · 03-20-2014, 02:35 PM

U got any pics of it?...i got just flip brackets with gabriel air shocks in the back and 2 cut coils in front. Would like to go with 3 inch springs and spindles and 2 inch shackles

K10mashup350 · 03-21-2014, 10:33 AM

This is the best I got of my "custom" perches with 2" block "built-in"

You may want to take that axle out and reweld the perches without the rust. I've had bad experience with Welds+rust, they dont mix

tinydb84 · 03-21-2014, 02:20 PM

That looks a bit scary to me. Is it fully welded? It doesn't look like the rearend was cleaned prior to welding.

K10mashup350 · 03-24-2014, 08:20 PM

No they are not fully welded there... But the rust in the area of weld was cleaned up with die grinder prior to the weld being put there.
The drop specs are approximately 5" front and 8"+ in the rear.
And unfortunately I don't know what rims they are they were on the truck when I bought it they are 15" though

knomadd · 05-06-2014, 03:54 PM

That looks much better!

Robznob11 · 05-06-2014, 11:06 PM

My measurements are 24" top of front wheel opening to ground, 27" on the rear, top of wheel opening to ground.

zibs71 · 05-07-2014, 08:43 PM

Not sure if this is right forum

I have P295/50R15 on rear of my 71 C10 and P255/60R15 on the front I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find the idealistic drop? Does anyone have this setup or know of the best or most common drop. Thanks in advance for your input.

zibs71

Robznob11 · 05-07-2014, 10:57 PM

4/6 is good for ride , thats what I have with an additional 3" of body drop, my tires are close in size to yours. So what you see in my pics is 7/9 drop. If you don't have deep bs win the rear Rims your tires will rub you need 6.5 bs atleast for a 12 wide rear and that is on an early(narrow rear) you need 7.5 bs for a 70+ rear. With a 10 rim just subtract 2" bs =)
