I like it. I didnt realize you could tub these trucks with a stock backhalf by just moving the springs inside the frame rails.

Re: My 1985 C10 Prostreet Project!!!

Is it really as simple as moving the leaf spring mounts inboard?

Very cool truck! What engine/trans will you be running?

by moving the springs inboard and narrowing your rearend who can go much wider of rim and tire and u can cut the inner wheel housing and wider them. im running a 15x14 with a MT 29-18-15 tire.

Frame rails should be boxed in first.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
