Re: #corona10truck - 77 C-10, pancaked crossmember - z'd frame etc etc etc

I just bought a 78 SWB, and I'm toying with the idea of something similar in the front. What does the clearance look like at the core support with the Z? Specifically the support/radiator/efan/frame/steering box interface. This truck will be static, and I'm wondering, how much is too much? Half ton springs with a coil cut, 2 1/2 drop spindles, a pancake and a z, I wonder what that adds up to in the real world? Because at some point, the really low bagged guys are using the bags to get the frame off the ground, not so much "suspend" the truck, if you get my drift. I guess the question is, how much is too much, with a static drop. I dig your work. I'm considering the 49-52 tank for my behind the axle tank.
