67chevy1series · 02-17-2011, 09:42 PM

i see it every where like a broken record ,lower,lower,lower.... i have nothin against lowered trucks or slammed trucks but i seem to be the only one with a stock height truck so if you are running stock height and ARE NOT GOING TO LOWER YOUR TRUCK ,or you are building your truck stock height post up some pics here!

67chevy1series · 02-17-2011, 09:43 PM

TYPO the thread should have said ''build stock height truck then looky here'' if a admin. or team member can change that would be great thanks

TheSeeker · 02-17-2011, 10:05 PM

I have a stock height truck and am leaving it that way, I like the way it looks and ive never personally liked how a lowered vehicle drives. A truck is a truck and should sit higher than a car hahahaha.

als70chevy4x4 · 02-17-2011, 10:14 PM

Hate is a strong word but slammed is a sham. I'm totally old school,stock down to the hubcaps lol.Here's my ride

STOCKISH · 02-17-2011, 10:26 PM

Nice looking trucks. They would look killer lowered!

Just Kidding, I like all of them, lowered or not.

Building my LONG BED stock height, well maybe a little lower in front with the weight of the big block. Have some pics, not sure how to post'm. Not a computer guy. By the way new here so hello.

*72lb4x4* · 02-17-2011, 10:19 PM

I keep wanting to take the block and shackle lift out of my K10 (it was there when I bought it) but I'm lazy, and its nice to be able to roll under it on the creeper.

**special-K** · 02-17-2011, 10:29 PM

These aren't mine,but stock height. If you truly like these trucks you like them any way they sit. I like 'em all and there sure are plenty to like

DEISS · 02-17-2011, 10:35 PM

trevrolet65, hello and welcome, 67chevy1series, great thread and great truck, I bet it screams with that 302!

67chevy1series · 02-17-2011, 10:37 PM

thanks deiss yes i bet it will scream! i wanna race my truck against my sisters 66 mustang 302, hers is lighter so it might win but i have more weight my tires might get better traction! oh and beautiful truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Constructor1 · 02-17-2011, 10:56 PM

I also like the stock height for these trucks and will be leaving mine as such. I have seen some awesome looking 67-72 Chevy's that were lowered, but it is just not my style.

With this talk of stock height, what is the stock height - how do we measure this? I think my coils have sagged some, but not sure how much new coils and body mounts will change what I already have.

Below is a couple of pics of my 1970 with what I believe is stock height.

trevrolet65 · 02-17-2011, 10:57 PM

Thank you DEISS nice truck. I sure do like that 67 small window swb, hot rod truck
67chevy1series, those were fun in high school.

**pryorstemmed** · 02-17-2011, 11:11 PM

I love the look of stock height or a mild lift. No offense, I am not a big fan of the lowered or slammed trucks, and it seems this forum has a majority of them

You don't see them very often here in MT because they would be worthless in the snow and not much use for hauling heavy loads. I imagine most are built for dd in nice weather or summer weekends. Here are pics of my 72 and my fathers 71.

Pont406 · 02-17-2011, 11:03 PM

Both of mine are stock height.

ETsC10 · 02-17-2011, 11:17 PM

Here's mine. Oddly enough, stock stance is fairly low. Leaf springs BTW.

67chevy1series · 02-17-2011, 11:19 PM

i dont know if it is takin for ever to load or weather you didnt post it?

67chevylongbed · 02-17-2011, 11:21 PM

nevermind.

Great thread, Rick. here's mine. I've thought about maybe doing like a 2/4 drop, but I don't know for sure because I will be using mine as a truck. I don't like the "slammed" look myself, but to each his own.
