68 chevy C10

Ok so i bought a 68 C10 long bed for 2500 and I was thinking about lowering it 3" in the front and 4" in the back, but I was wondering if I had to make any cuts in order for it to work. A buddy of mine said the tires would rub if I dropped it that low. Just let me know what you think.

I have a 71 c10 shortbed that I lowered 4 1/2 in the front and 5 in the back and in the front. The front wheels look close to hitting but clear with the fenders with room and the back have room

Re: 68 chevy C10

That's a nice truck. The tires should not rub if they are 8" rims with 4.5 inch backspace, which is pretty common.

In the back you will be find the front is going to be close.
