Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
A lot of guys build those pre-runners that have more height in the front than the rear. Cool for what they are, I guess. There was a guy here on the board that built one like that not too long ago I think.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
Yeah, isn't that Delmo from his interview? I love the heartbeat stripe, very 80's looking. Sweet truck no matter when it was taken.
Lot's of great trucks guys. They're giving me plenty to ponder on the perfect stance for a hot rod! ![]()

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
It's tough to give you a number.
I can say at least 4.5 up front but probably more. I was running a sectioned crossmember @ 1.5 inches and 3 inch belltech spindles. But it is bagged. The rear is bagged with a 1 inch block under the diff. I just set it where it looked good to me!!!! Posted via Mobile Device

also in this pic there is no tailgate or bed floor installed so the rear is up a little more than normal

Isn't this truck like a static drop with cut springs front and back?
