C20-> c10?

I know i'm young and oblivious but was slightly miffed why you would want to go down to a c10, the only reason i thought of is better gas mileage?

Re: C20-> c10?

lowering components would fit your c10, ECE makes a few products for the 3/4 ton though..

And wheels also, I dont think the make alot of popular 2wd style wheels in a 8 lug pattern

Re: C20-> c10?

The reason I will be chaging my 68 GMC from a 3/4 to 1/2 ton is to go from the stiffer leaf sprung rear to the smoother riding coil sprung one. Also the 1/2 rear end gears are usally not quite as low as the ones found in a 3/4 ton Jim
