this is my 70 c10 that was given to me this year

planes
body drop 3 inch's
air bags front and rear
and the list goes on!

FnLow69 · 02-26-2008, 09:17 PM

looks like a good start, but why a 3in bodydrop you only need 1in to lay body or are you going to door it?

72BlckButy · 02-27-2008, 12:53 AM

I think you might need an alignment...

Great looking build!

6chevy9 · 02-27-2008, 02:45 AM

lay body is what i wont
so i dont need to z it that much?
1 inch z is ok?

FnLow69 · 02-27-2008, 08:52 AM

A "Z" and a bodydrop are two seperate things. to lay body i would move the body mounts on the frame down 1", the "Z" depends on tire size.

what size tires do you plan on running?

1LoC10 · 02-27-2008, 09:10 AM

looks like a nice start... i agree on the body drop part, these trucks really dont need one, if all your looking to do is lay the rocker

6chevy9 · 02-27-2008, 11:00 AM

i wish to run 20's
but im running 15's right now

atxsteve1 · 02-27-2008, 12:26 PM

Cant wait to see the end result...good luck..

6chevy9 · 02-28-2008, 10:56 AM

thanxs atx

FnLow69 · 02-28-2008, 11:14 AM

For a 20 in rim the common tire size is about 27 in tall. i Z'ed my old frame 3" and could lay out on a 29 in tire with ART arms (upper and lower). I would think a 2 in "Z" would get you on the frame. but you might want to look into a crossmember section might work better for you....

6chevy9 · 03-01-2008, 12:05 AM

what size wheel are u running fnlow69?

FnLow69 · 03-01-2008, 08:30 AM

My new frame is set up to run a 28 in tire in front and if i could a 30 in back. the old frame that i Z'd was running a 27 in tire.

6chevy9 · 03-01-2008, 09:27 AM

are u layin frame or body? fnlow

FnLow69 · 03-01-2008, 09:49 AM

frame and body, well doors now.

6chevy9 · 03-01-2008, 01:13 PM

6chevy9 · 03-07-2008, 01:59 AM

6chevy9 · 03-14-2008, 01:13 AM

bagged69c10 · 03-14-2008, 02:18 AM

6chevy9 · 03-14-2008, 10:57 PM
