Re: show me your 73-87 lowered/bagged c10's

First off there is a lot of pretty freakin bad ass rides in here!! I love chevys, I always have and always will!! Also I was hoping I could get some feedback from you guys on a build I'm getting ready to start on my 1979 Chevy 3/4 ton long bed?? I'm going to be doing everything myself and would love to get some input from other chevy people that have been there done that to help not only save me some money, but the headache as well. Id greatly appreciate it if you got a few minutes to take a look. I already started a thread and heres the link....

Re: show me your 73-87 lowered/bagged c10's

Got my truck back from the shop today. Been there all week getting parts from Pro Performance bolted onto it. Lowered 5/5 with their stage 3 kit, 14" discs, 20x8.5/20x10 American Legend Streeter wheels, 245/40R20 and 315/35R20 Nitto Invo tires.

Wanted to go 255/35 in the front originally but the supplier didn't have any, so we were going to try a 275/35. But one of those got lost, so we settled on the 245. They fit really good though. The 315s look good on the back too, but that's pretty wide for a 10" wheel. There's more sidewall bulge there than I'd like to have so maybe when I burn those off, one at a time with my open diff, I'll go town to 295 or 285.

My 76. Should be 3/5 but I think she's more like 3/6.
