Took awards for both trucks at car show.
I was pleased to take awards for both of my trucks at a local car show today. I thought I would share some pictures. Enjoy.

I like the idea of having your signboards on the underside of the hood.

Re: Took awards for both trucks at car show.
Your a lucky guy with two beautiful trucks. Got to ask what size tire are you running on the Orange one? I have the exact same truck exept in long bed format. I'm running the 16.5x8.25 wheels too.

Re: Took awards for both trucks at car show.
Congrats on your accomplishment. I know how hard it is to place with one truck but to do it with two is something to really be proud of.

Re: Took awards for both trucks at car show.
Congrats Dan, both are beauties. This was a 600 car show with a huge attendance. There was a crowd of people hanging around your trucks all day! Those were well deserved awards.

Re: Took awards for both trucks at car show.
Hey derotoreut
I was looking thru your pics and was wondering if both of your trucks have the same "ground clearance" or "ride height"? It's kind of hard to tell for sure because the field where you have them parked side by side is not 100% level but to me they look like they might be the same height? Tell me more about these trucks. Are they both the factory stock ride height? And is there a difference between the 4x4 and 2wd ride height? I'm going to get my own C10 and am personally debating between a 2wd and a 4x4. Check out my threads on the subject http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...00#post6199500 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...15#post6201015 P.S. Awesome trucks I'm big on keeping them as original and simple as possible |

Re: Took awards for both trucks at car show.
There is a definite difference between my two trucks. First of all the '70 K10 is 1/2 ton with stock ride height and 31X10.5-15 tires. The '69 C20 is 3/4 ton with heavy duty front springs to lift it and 285/70-17 tires. The 285/70-17 tires are about 1-3/4" taller, and about 1" wider then the 15" tires. Plus the front lift on the '69 just adds to it. It has a higher lift then the stock K10 4X4.
