That guy behind the truck with the red wheels loves his rake so much he's dancing a jig :lol: Everyone of those has a great stance.

I'm kind of suprised that nobody weighed in on the nose up look. I guess really that's more of a Kustom look anyway I suppose. I did see a show where Jesse James built a drag car or something and his was nose up. I remember him saying that was what he felt a hot rod looked like so I figured there must be others but I guess not :)

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

haha, i think he's just leaning on something...as for the nose up look, i would assume you're referring to the Gasser look....like this? there are better examples, but this is a '64 C10 model version (not mine)

Nah I wasn't thinking Gasser's (those are cool though) I meant the tail dragging look you see in california alot.

saw this truck when i first got on the site and ive always loved the stance - this to me is straight hot rod and hopefully the stance i can achieve when i can finally drop coin on spindles for my 85 disc/xmember conversion

id love to do a SWB gasser version of our trucks one day but my LWB is getting the rake treatment

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

I like this thread about the hot rodded C10s. Here's mine. Another black and red. Keep this going guys!

I lowered the front today, plan to lower the rear to match as soon as soon as the hurricane blows thru.

Actually SulphuriousSam, He was on crutches after an accident... I have talked with him about that picture and at the time (If he could've), he would've been dancing a jig!! If I remember correctly, it was just back from the paint booth.

Best looking step on the site!

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

Here's mine.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

LOL yeah I noticed the crutches after my post but just left it alone since he did look like he was pretty happy about that truck :)

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

can i get some more info on your truck? especially tire sizes and such. love the stance.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

This is mine with a 2 1/2 drop spindles.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

Nice "rides" on here all. Here's a pic of mine. I'm not sure of the drop on this as the PO did it. It needs to come down a bit more in the front to suit me.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

My guess is yes... :chevy:

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

lil sahara 450r, the wheels are 15x8 and the tires are 235/60r15 front and rear. the rears are a little skinny for my taste but they work for now

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

thanks for the info, really like the truck!

Sombody has to do this full scale!!!

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

it would be cool to have a gasser 60-66 :metal: but it would suck as a dd :lol: maybe on my next truck!

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

Sitting like this right now - hoping the front coils settle a bit more:

Not claiming "best" rake/stance :lol: Not sure how I want it to sit just yet.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

here is what mine turned out to be about 2 months after the front end replacement parts were installed;

Your truck looks much nicer with the bed on.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

i think that the factory rake is just perfect on these trucks but i want the overall thing a little lower to the ground. I plan on lowering mine with springs all around.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

4/6 drop + a little extra tire in the rear

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

i agree that this stance is bad ass and what i strive for and i belive is is leaning on crutches .

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

Wow! First time I've seen it with a bed! Nice!!!

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

You know, i've seen 1Bad62Pro/streets' truck w/o the bed for so long now, that i like it without the bed. It just looks bad*ss, take no prisoners, IMHO.:metal:

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

Here is mine, tire is turned to the right so it looks off in the pic.

Re: Best "Rake/Stance" for a Hot Rodded 60-66 C10?
 

nope...

you were in a terrible accident and now your truck only goes in circles. ;)
