Re: Saddle up 66 c10

Truck is looking great. I copied what I found here for the rear shock mounting worked out perfect for me. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=451200

I had 4 inch drop but changed to 3" shocks work well for both drops.

I did 4 inches of drop in the rear and 2 in the front. Somebody on the forum here told me i'd be okay with the factory shock location. Is there any truth to that? I looked at the link to the other thread you posted but i'm still unsure.

Re: Saddle up 66 c10

Since the driveshaft was hitting the cross member that was attached to the trailing arms I had to do something. At first I was gonna shorten the trailing arms and move the cross member back but I decided not to and my dad thought of a better solution. We cut the top out and used to two pieces of steel to reinforce the cross member.
