Re: 84- BIG DROP,BIG BLOCK,daily driver ;-))

txlowtrucks.... 9.5s with 35mm offset will work but the 12s wont because they only come in negative offset! If u have a specific question on something then i can tell u exactly what ill fit front to back!

I dont want you guys to be mad at me but i was going to drop my truck off at paint today and couldnt get my grill trim to line up. I molded the damn roll pan 1/2 inch higher on one side. after getting pissed,i backed up out of my dads garage and was getting turned around and ended up smashing the front roll pan in. I was very very mad so they guy painting my truck offered me a trade so i took it! I traded for a bagged and bodied ext cab ranger! My plan is to start over with a 73-80 model with the stepside bed and A/C. Im just going to order a 350 and 700r4 trans from gm so ill have a warranty! I will still get back on here and ill buy my new c10 in sept when i get my military money!

Think you can build a show truck to drive everyday, just not necessarily during it's show "life span"... Building mine for shows, but once I am home for good it will become more of a daily driver & less of a show rig.
Really like your truck man - liked it the best in the first pics as far as stance & wheel choice, but that's just me. Looking forward to seeing more updates from you!

Re: 84- BIG DROP,BIG BLOCK,daily driver ;-))

Hey thanks for the info. I really don't understand when they list offset like that. Does a positive move the wheel in and a negative move the wheel out?

positive makes your wheel tuck! 22x9.5s with 38mm offset will tuck a 6" front drop or air ride! the rear will hit the inner fenderwell at 38mm but the offer a 10 or 12mm that will work perfect for the rear
