HotRod C/10 · 11-11-2012, 05:12 PM

5" spring and a 2'' block.......... May go to a 1'' block so it has a slight rake to it

It will handle better with the rake. That is how they were set up from the factory.

HotRod C/10 · 12-15-2012, 11:36 PM

got some 1" spacers ..........

HotRod C/10 · 12-16-2012, 06:05 PM

1" spacers was perfect on a narrow rearend and 5 1/2" backspacing

mightymouse · 12-16-2012, 06:09 PM

that made it look alot better , i think im going to get spacers too! until and if i get different wheels..

C10_ustacould · 12-16-2012, 06:37 PM

Where did you get the 1" spacers?

**DeadheadNM** · 12-16-2012, 06:41 PM

Looks great! Now the colors kinda remind me of a sleigh. Finish it by xmas, throw on a Santa suit, and drop by with gifts of console parts and I'll give you all the beer you can drink.

Pete what do you need before I sell it all.

HotRod C/10 · 12-16-2012, 07:31 PM

some updated pics with rear 1" spacers.

**DeadheadNM** · 12-16-2012, 07:55 PM

Looks great Dave! Thanks for asking but I'm too slow - could use a strap and a Chevy bowtie to replace a GMC emblem. No worries as this is a spare console for a possible future project. Maybe I'll catch you over the holidays - I should be in town,

HotRod C/10 · 12-16-2012, 07:58 PM

yeah those are long gone..........the straps can be mad if you know where to get coated cable.........the ends are available at Napa. I'll be in town so we should have a Christmas beverage.

**lolife99** · 12-16-2012, 08:17 PM

Where did you get the 20x10's with 5-1/2" BS?
