My 77' Custom 10 is now sitting pretty
Just had the 4/5 Drop installed and everything worked perfectly
Tire Size 235/75/15 Stock 6" Steelie rims 3 drop spindles front with 1 inch drop coils and drop shocks Rear: Flip kit with drop shocks I had doubt about the ride and hitting the control arms when dropping this truck, but a big thanks to those who responded to my questions posted here. I picked her up really late, so I'll get some better pictures once I get a chance. I'm an RN so bare with me, I work graveyards and sleep throughout the day. She is sitting very nice and the ride is still very comfortable, no bottoming out at all and no rubbing or hitting with turns. Last edited by murguia; 05-13-2014 at 02:14 AM. |

Re: My 77' Custom 10 is now sitting pretty
love it, im hoping to build a street tuck soon. im working on a 79 k10 right now.
Looks good with the stock wheels. Do you plan on changing the rear bumper to a sport bumper? Your work as an RN is appreciated, my bother got hit by a car on his motorcycle and the folks in the trauma and ICU took good care of him. He is alive and recovering. |

Yee Haw that looks perfect
Is that the original paint? That truck looks like it just came off the showroom floor...... Except for the stance! That blue is timeless chevy I like it! |

Re: My 77' Custom 10 is now sitting pretty
Tom Martin, I appreciate the kind words. I love being and RN, it's always nice to help those in need. Good to hear your brother is recovering well! As for the bumper, I'm keeping her all original just as she is
50Seven: thanks again, she's a nice truck the pictures don't show some of the minor dings and scratches but overall it's a very nice Original Paint truck |

Re: My 77' Custom 10 is now sitting pretty
Love the truck. If it were mine, the only other thing I would do is add 1" or 1.5" spacers to the rear wheels, to push them out a little and be more in line with the front. Other than that, I think its perfect.

Nice OE looking truck & the drop looks great. Painted sport bumper gets my vote....

Re: My 77' Custom 10 is now sitting pretty
One clean looking truck my friend. Just really clean looking. Love the 58 too. Wish my dad never got rid of his white 58 when I was growing up, or his 65. I agree with you, leave her as she sits and dont do a thing to the bumpers or anything else. Too cool!
