Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides

Thanks. No drop at all as far as I know suspension is stock. I plan to keep it that way. I was raised with these trucks so I am going with a blend of old and new. mostly old... I am hoping to put a late model engine and tranny at some point. Right now it is 350/350. neither original. It is a factory A/C, power steering and power disc truck. IT will be my daily driver. I may try to post some pics today of the progress.

Just when I was thinking about getting rid of mine to work on my longbed, you guys start this post. Added parts for the front disc brake setup and has been sanded down for the new Satin Black.

The Pressure. The Pressure. :lol:

VDOG: Cool '68 GMC. One small step every available day makes the project move.
My '68 C/10 Chevy Stepside was an LA truck. I bought it in Pasadena. It was built at Fremont, and I once saw on the build sheet [before it disintegrated in my hands upon hitting modern atmosphere] that it was sold out of Felix Chevrolet.

Keep this thread going. Please include drop or lift height and wheel details. Giving me all sorts of options to decide for my 68 stepper. Thanks everyone.

What size wheels do you have on your stepper? I heard we cant run anything over 8 inches without tubbing.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides

20x8.5 & 255/35/r20 up front and 22x9 & 265/40/r22 on the rear. 5/7 drop with drop spindles & springs on the front, 6" springs & 1" block out back with NO c-notch. The rear end is the wide length and centered with a CPP trac bar. I have about 1/2"-3/4" clearance on the inside of the bed and about 1/2" clearance on the fender lip. This combo would clear on air with a size smaller rear tire perfect. I hope this helps.

Yeap that helps. On my C-10 longbed I have a 5.5 inch drop in the front and a 5 inch drop in the back, no c-notch. Not really a fan of air yet.

My stepper is actually a 68 GMC with leaf springs. But not a fan of the double headlights so i might convert the front to chevy.

Thanks for the info.

Hope my stepper comes out as good as yours when finished !

Thanks for the compliment. The tires are 255/70/15's and the springs are stock. So far I've kept it all stock except for the Rally's. I have the original rims that I use during the winter months. They work better in the snow. I keep debating lowing the truck but I'm not a huge fan of dropping it. It's nice being able to get under the truck easily to work on it. I wish there was a 1"front/2"rear drop solution.

Not really sure how an ls swap motor makes any difference but there is a definite resonance around 1600 (right at highway cruise speed)rpm that honks loudly in the interior after a few minutes. Va is now going to replace the expansion valve and condenser next.. From the reviews i have read the sure fit kit seemed to be a no brainer for our c10 but this has certainly not been my experience so far.
