Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?

My stance used to be level and I just didn't care for it. I was going to raise the back up an inch but after I dropped the Big Block in it lowered the front an inch.

Cool Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?

I love posting pics... Not a lot of rake but just enough. The stance for me anyway is just right being a daily. I'm in love with the 60s. Thanks for having me guys. Nice trucks too!

I like the way it sits. Fat tires could go on diet and gain a few inches.
The picture above will give you idea of drop. Here is mine on the jack framed out. The pipe notch will give an added 2"s, just cut a little of the inner tub flange to clear tires.

Looks good Bill. That's the drop I'd have on mine if it was lowered.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?

My '66 has 2.5" drop spindles in the front and 3" drop springs in the rear. Most of the rake comes from the 18's up front and 20's in the back. Even after the tires there's just over a 2 inch difference in the overall wheel size.
