looks good. nice and clean....

slow-1 · 08-06-2013, 08:48 PM

I am still trying to get used to them...they seem a little too big.

But they should look good with it a couple inches lower....if I can get up the nerve to do it.

Very cool truck!

Lee H · 08-06-2013, 08:56 PM

Nice looking truck!! I think that's a great size for these C10s, stock or lowered.

Looks good! That bad boy would look really tough with a 2/4 drop, IMO!

I did a 2/4 drop with McGaughy springs on my '69 C10, and I liked it. My buddy did a 2/4 drop at the same time I did on his '70 with CPP springs, and mine was an inch lower than his. I don't know why, but he had to cut half of a round off the front spring and install a 1" block under the rearend to get to same drop as mine. We both had the same size tires, both were SWB's, we both had 350's with TH350's, so I don't know why mine was lower, but it certainly was.

Here was my truck.

Ralley's wheels are timeless and looks. My truck has a 4-6 inch drop and in my opinion will make your shoes look better.

That being said your truck is sweet as it sits

Looks great!

How much change in ride was there? As in comfort, mine rides like a Cadi now.

Did you still haul/tow with it? If so, how did it do?

Thanks. I still think of these wheels when I read or hear "ralley wheels"...although most times on this forum they are speaking of truck rallies.

Nice truck!

So true.

ksshane · 08-07-2013, 10:43 AM

Looking good.... man, I wish the cab of my truck was in as good a shape as yours

slow-1 · 08-07-2013, 11:57 AM

It can be....just put in new inner and outter rockers and cab corners.

Then throw in a couple new fenders and inner fenders and bam...you got it.

The ride was a little stiffer, but not bad. I never hauled anyhing heavy and never towed anything more than a lawnmower trailer with it.
