Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Bought it at the long beach swap meet thought is was just a model but it's radio control but i didn't care about that so i took it apart and and grinded down the support stumps then i painted like ol blue heeler. don't care for the rims wish i could find some rallys.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Funny when I first saw the post, I was going to ask what color and brand paint. Then I realized it was most likely painted with Testors. :D

Cool model, there was a thread around here with 60-66 models, wish I had one remote control, any idea what brand it was or where to get one?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Ok guys this is where to find some lowered truck, stock truck, custom paint trucks. Sunstar model trucks.com. Iwould just look on ebay and you should find something cool.
check out the sunstar web site first then look it up on ebay. hope this helps. oh by the way mine was painted with a krylon rattle can they sell the blue paint.

Here is a before and after pic, 4" rear, 3" front springs, 235/75 rear, 225/75 front, mounted on my wrecking yard find rallys. Once everthing has settled probably going to take a little off the front coils, get it about 1" or so lower. If you look real close in the top pic you can see a couple old chevys in the back round. There is about an 80 year old women that lives there. In that garage is a 70ish c10 that her late husband bought new. Promissed to one of her sons.

Technology these days, never ceases to amaze me =P those pictures make me miss my old '63...

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Hey All. Does anyone have pictures of a 1"/3" drop? I realize it's not much, so most wouldn't opt for it, but I don't like the stock ride height and I'm trying to decide if I can live with it as an interim approach.

Ultimately, I want a 3-1/2"/5" drop using the 1 and 3 inch springs and 2-1/2" spindles with 2" blocks. However, I'm not ready for the spindle and disc upgrade now. I hate to spend money on springs I'll get rid of eventually, but if I don't like a 1/3, I'll go 2/3 springs with a 1" block for now and just replace front springs later when I do final drop.

Oh and yes, it's lowered already, but the PO did it with shadetree methods and it rides like a tank.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

oakcustoms, how bouncey is your ride since you cut all your coils? I like your stance and if its not bad, i'll probably end up doing the same thing.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Why would the ride be bouncy?? Its not like its some stupid slammed import that rubs on a bottle cap going down the road. The spring is still there, as well shocks.. My old set up was cut coils rode fine. Just less travel.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

when you cut a coil spring not heat it it will increase the load capacity and make it ride horrible......now i do have a c-20 so the springs are heavy duty! i am saving up for a 5 lug and air bags
