Thinking on running mickey thompson 29x15r20 on 20x12 wheels. Maybe 29x18r20 on a 20x15. Any suggestions???

Link it inside the frame and go coilovers. Just not sure if I want to go that far for a few more inches when the 29x15r20 tires are fat already. And know they will fit with just tubs. Saw a few this weekend at goodguys |

Cab back on the frame. A whole lot shorter.

Re: 1970 c10 lq9 build
Looks good. I have an LQ9 in my 2003 Silverado SS. I really like the motor even in its stock form. (I believe it was rated 345/385 at the time.) Your motor definitely doesn't look stock! Doug

Re: 1970 c10 lq9 build
Awesome! Nice work on the frame.

Re: 1970 c10 lq9 build
Agreed. Awesome frame work any more close up pics of the shortening process? I am getting ready to do this to mine :D

Looks like a wild ride.

Re: 1970 c10 lq9 build
In for the build as I'm too putting an LQ motor in my truck and realling wanting a 20x12 rear.
What's you mods on your motor? |

Well it's been a little while since I have had time to work on my c10. But here is what I did today after work. Fabbed up some motor mounts. And set the motor and Trans in for mockup.

Got my front tires in. Of course the rear are on backorder. I went with 29x18r20 mickey Thompsons. Going to be fun to squeeze them in there.

Well my rear tires finally came in yesterday. And they are wiiiiide. I love them. Going to have to go to coilovers which I pretty much figured. And now I have a brand new set of 4" drop coils that are no good to me. But it's way worth it when you look at these pictures.

Re: 1970 c10 lq9 build
Also. Looking for some advice on narrowing my 12 bolt. Going to do a disc conversion. So would I still need to do a c-clip eliminator or wouldn't the rotor and caliper hold the axle in if it broke. Any suggestions??
