Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's
My exhaust dumps in front of the axle, not enough room to cross it. It rides good...... on smooth roads, I definitely watch where I go. Yes, the porterbuilt arms are standard length.

Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's
What is the backspacing on the front wheels? Also are you running Cpp modular spindles? Really beautiful truck.

Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's
The fronts in the picture are 8.5 with a 5.5" backspace. The spindles are early classic. I say the wheels in the pic because I had some leaking issues with the 8.5's so raceline exchanged them for some 9" with 6" backspace at no charge. Thanks for the compliment, I can't wait to see some paint on yours, gonna be awesome!!

Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's
Dammit man! This is pretty much where I'm going!
Please txt me 956 295 7902, I have some questions if u don't mind. im setting up a lq4 ls swap, cammed, stall, full bolt on. And bagging it out on 24s. Also im not a big fan of staggered wheels. And I was wondering how 24s all around looked like

Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's
I hope to have it at last resort show in Jennings in October. Still working on the engine/trans/driveshaft install and rewiring it (complete American auto wire kit). Thank you guys for the compliments. I've also been working on a 46 chevy for a buddy of mine for the last few years. About to send it home, and get busy on mine again.

Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's
I don't know. It's hard to think with my jaw dropped all the way to the floor. Words don't do your truck justice, but I'll try: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's
I appreciate te offer for help, I'm just slow. My work schedules pretty crazy. Thanks guys on the 46 comments. It's gonna be a cruiser for sure. And with a 383 (400hp) and 700r4 it should cruise pretty well

Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's
Any other C10's on 405/25/24 tires? I love the look... Also does anyone know what is the widest 22 inch tires that are offered to maybe do the same staggered look but on 22's?

Re: My 72 with 405/25/24's
I'd say 265/30/22 with an 8.5" rim and a 335/25/22 on the rear (perlli makes them) with a 12" rim. That's what I'm considering for another build
