Re: Project Platinum C10
I would like to see how that style looks on my truck but I've pretty much made my mind up on wheels I think
What's next on your list? Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Project Platinum C10
I found a website where you can pull up your body style truck and put different rims on it. I'll see if I can find it again. I'm hoping to get the truck into paint within the next week.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Man I looked at your post today and like your truck with the rims on it! After I get it painted my progress will slow way down as my funds will be drying up....lol. Hopefully I can at least get all the interior done soon after paint.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Thanks. I'm not sure if my current rims will work with the brakes I want to run. I know the feelings with lack of funds at times. Most mine go to the kids toys these days lol

Re: Project Platinum C10
Not yet. I still need to have the front end aligned. The paint shop wants me to bring it by so we can go over it one more time and I can pick out the paint colors and get a exterior seals / trim list from him.

Re: Project Platinum C10
I got the truck dropped off at the front end shop today to have it aligned. My tires came in yesterday so I got a picture of them while I was dropping off the truck.

Re: Project Platinum C10
In my past experiences most vehicles I've owned have never been perfectly level. Just taking a guess (cluelss really) at why the cab doesn't line up with the bed could be cab mounts. I have zero experience with 73-87s.
You're sitting really close to the bump stops. Can they be trimmed down some so you're not hitting them on every little bump? Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Project Platinum C10
that one is a lotttt closer... Did you replace both shocks? looks like one is pretty worn/dirty in one picture... could that be the difference we're seeing?

Re: Project Platinum C10
Here is a picture after I had the truck aligned. The distance between the bump stops now are the same but my truck is still leaning to the driver side 1/2". I bought a 1/2" coil spring spacer to even it out and should be getting it by the weekend. Another member said that they had their frame checked and it was tweaked causing the "Chevy Lean". They said it cost approx. 400$ to have it fixed. The reason is the frame doesn't have connecting supports on the front and the read but only near the center (If I understood correctly). I climbed under my truck and low and behold this is what I found.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Someone told me to try and turn the the springs and see if it makes a difference.

Re: Project Platinum C10
I would think the bottom of the springs sit level no matter how they're turned? Unless there's a groove they slide into.

Re: Project Platinum C10
From what I understand where the top of the spring sits it is dished and slanted (if that makes sense) and can affect the way the truck sits.

Re: Project Platinum C10
There should be a groove for the spring to sit in a certain postition. It's probably very subtle. My truck sat differently depending on which way the springs were positioned.
