Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
it would be cool to have a gasser 60-66 but it would suck as a dd maybe on my next truck!

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
i think that the factory rake is just perfect on these trucks but i want the overall thing a little lower to the ground. I plan on lowering mine with springs all around.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
to me, it doesn't get much better than that! what size tires are you running in those pics? and what size will you be running with the steelies/narrow whites? i had thought about a similar look but decided to keep mine looking stock...still planning for a lowered build in the future tho

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
I think a fleetside looks good with a very slight rake or none at all.
But I think a stepside definitely needs rake.
