94 c1500 daily driver

After several 60-66 c10s.
I wanted to build a nice clean 88-98 daily driver with A/C found this one local but came from north Florida. Finally got the wheel and tire size right for the look I wanted.

That looks awesome. I had a 90 GMC in high school that sat the same. Loved it.

Re: 94 c1500 daily driver

I really miss my '94 C1500. That was my favorite truck I've owned. It was ECSB, and wasn't lowered. Really great truck.

Stopped this weekend and looked at a '94 ecsb 2wd. Probably would have made the guy an offer if it weren't a V6 truck. Suspect it was salvage title, too.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 94 c1500 daily driver

sorry, misread the response to a poor quoting job


Looks like a pretty clean truck! That interior reminds me of my old '93. Good luck with the sell/trade.

Re: 94 c1500 daily driver

The kit started as the normal 4/6 drop
After a bad experience trying to get a 3in drop spring I just cut 1/2 a round off the 2in drop spring for the front.
The rear is the flip kit with c notch and a drop shackle.
Wheels are 18x 8 in front with 235/40/18
Rear is 18x9.5 with 275/40/18

Nice truck. I just lowered mine 5/7 with belltech and am having backspace issues.

Whos kit did you use?

Do you know the backspace on the wheels?

On the front because the BellTech spindles pushed the wheels out further?

Yes. After Belltech had told me there would be no change in track width.

That sucks! Unless they changed something, it has been a well-known issue.

Re: 94 c1500 daily driver

Yep. BellTech spindles have always widened the track. They do that to eliminate rubbing when turning at full lock on stock wheels. DJM, Western Chassis and other brands don't do that.
