Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I did drive it Saturday but with the open exhaust it was not too much fun. I am taking it to have the exhaust re route it tomorrow and friday I am taking it to it's first cruise.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Truck looks great! I have some Intro Pentias with the 20x10 and 5 inch BS and I was wondering about throwing some 315s on it? Do you think those would fit with the way your wheels fit? You may have already mentioned this but what size tires do you have in the back?

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Here are some pictures of the rear tires and they show how much clearance there is on there. There was another member that asked me via private message and I emailed him this picts. This should give everyone an idea of how much clearance there is. I am sure that I can drive my truck at slow speed aired out like in a parking lot but I would NOT drive it any faster than that.
Nate no staged pictures yet. I am going to a big car show saturday night and I will then take some pictures. Here is also a picture at ride height.....

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Man,... 1/2" more backspacing would have been perfect.
Did you have to center the rearend with the truck dropped? I assume the other side is just as close?

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Looks good but I would be afraid to go any wider. A 295 should be roughly 11.61 inches wide and the 315 is 12.40 inches wide. Even with no other variables that would be a little tight I would think. Dangit I guess I will get the wheels rebackspaced. I wonder what that will cost me? Thanks for taking those pictures!

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Depending on how low you actually go,... you have to clear the "complete" bed side,... not just the flared lip of the wheelwell.
You have to get inside of the "flat" part of the bed side. (the n2billet mod helps when it's close) I centered my blazer at ride height,... but then you have to deal with the rearend shifting to the passenger side when air'd out.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I understand what you are saying my truck
Completely aired out sitting on the bumpstops the tire does not seem to hit anywhere Inside there also keep in mind that completely aired out the differential is almost hitting the floor so I am good as that's my limit at least on this truck. Do you have a link for What Keith mod is ? I am curious to see. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Al... it was installed on this truck "Lucy" that n2billet built. I've got pics at home but I know that Keith will have them for you in a a few.
http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...highlight=lucy n2billet basically removed the "kick out" that cuts into the rear inner fender to allow for more travel. On my truck the rear BS is 4.75" IIRC and if I were to every bag my truck (not going to happen) I would have to remove the "kick out" in order for my truck to lay out properly. If the pics aren't posted soon I'll round them up tonight.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I had the left front air line blow out in my truck a few weeks ago, I bought a stailess steel union and got the line fixed but it was more of a band aid so I ordered 30 ft of air line as I want it to be perfect. I went ahead and ran a new air line plus I added a thermo sleeve on both front air lines as we believe the reason it blew up was because the header is relatively close to the air line and the heat melted it. I dont want to take any chances so I am hoping that it does not happen again.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Thats a good idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to access the situation and see if I can do that instead of rebackspacing.
