Pic Request Non lowered trucks Please
 
Please post pics of non lowered stock ride height 2wd or 4x4 SWB or LWB 67-72 C10's

I'm trying to figure out which body style I like best and would like to see as many examples as possible. Don’t get me wrong I love the looks of a slightly lowered SWB C10 but I actually need to be able to use my truck as a truck occasionally and just don’t think a lowered tuck will be able to accommodate my needs.

This will be more of a mixed use truck so it will see plenty of use on dirt roads where I'll have to cross small ditches and stuff so ground clearance is important to me. Nothing too serious in fact I don’t think that I would have a problem with a SWB that was lowered maybe 2" MAX but right now I want to see stock trucks.

Truely "stock" "as built" trucks are rare here. Most people have done small changes to their trucks. Even something as common as a wheel change or substitution of an obsolete tire size can change the perceived appearance.
Since you have only narrowed it down to twenty four different models/years being more specific would help.
Probably the best place to look is at factory literature and advertising.
Start at "The Old Car Manual Project" http://www.oldcarbrochures.org/NA/GM...rucks_and_Vans
Look through their specific brochures and see what you like. Then a search through eBay at brochures and ads will yield a lot of pictures, as many sellers post large, useful picture of period stock trucks.

Springs are original, but MANY loads of oak firewood traveled in the back so I'd bet the rear is a bit lower than original.

Stock suspension, but like Slow-1 pointed out Im sure over the years the springs have settled quite a bit

Here is my '68 C-10. It is an original, 89,000 mile truck that hasn't had a rough life judging by the condition of the inside of the bed. I don't know how much difference there is in these tires and the factory size, but I think it is close.

My dream truck has always been a '67 SWB, but is the closest I've found and by far the best body of any of these I've ever had, so I'm just going to live with the side markers! -lol

Thanks. It's a beast with a 383 and 4.10 gears....but I definitely need to get and OD transmission soon. Fun launches but screams at 70 mph.

Thanks! I got this truck with intention of lowering it immediately, but I'm kind of digging the stock look too. I am pretty sure Iam going to install the air bag set-up I have so I can have both ways depending on my mood!

I traded for the set-up below to sell it, but I think I'm going to use it on this truck.

This is the first I've noticed this, but in every picture it looks like our rear wheels are slightly forward in the wheel wells... huh.. never noticed that before

67 LWB stock suspension and wheels, and the tires are fairly close to stock height I believe.

Stock 67 C20 LWB with HD Coil Springs in back. Springs are probably a little tired though.
