Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10? - Page 5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SulphuriousSam · 08-31-2011, 05:24 PM

it would be cool to have a gasser 60-66

but it would suck as a dd

maybe on my next truck!

Sitting like this right now - hoping the front coils settle a bit more:

Not claiming "best" rake/stance

Not sure how I want it to sit just yet.

here is what mine turned out to be about 2 months after the front end replacement parts were installed;

Scot_Douglas · 09-11-2011, 07:50 PM

That's a sharp looking truck.

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.

BR3W CITY · 12-13-2011, 02:04 AM

4/6 drop + a little extra tire in the rear

id love to do a SWB gasser version of our trucks one day but my LWB is getting the rake treatment

i agree that this stance is bad ass and what i strive for and i belive is is leaning on crutches .

You know, i've seen 1Bad62Pro/streets' truck w/o the bed for so long now, that i like it without the bed. It just looks bad*ss, take no prisoners, IMHO.

badriand · 12-13-2011, 11:44 AM

Here is mine, tire is turned to the right so it looks off in the pic.

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

LostMy65 · 07-08-2012, 01:33 AM

I think a fleetside looks good with a very slight rake or none at all.
But I think a stepside definitely needs rake.

chakah · 07-08-2012, 02:40 AM

diggin' the rake on these:

SICK!!!!!
