Re: Convert C20 to C10..... suspension, ride height

Welcome to the forum. It will not look right - the wheels will look spaced out. I wouldn't use two piece spacers (either). I wouldn't use any spacers, actually. That's a lot of $ and time to spend to make a C20 look like a C10. I believe there are 3/4 ton lowering kits available, but that would probably drop you to lower than stock C10 height - and I'm not sure how to help you get the 6 lug rallies on there without looking like they are sticking out (without changing axles/hubs). If you just want stock C10 stance, except with rally wheels, I think the only way to achieve that is to install 6 lug GM suspension - and, unfortunately, in 2WD 6 lug world, that would be a pre-71 non-disk front suspension, but I can understand why you want to retain your disks. You'd need to have a 6 lug disk conversion and a pre-71 C10 rear or a pre or post 71 K10 rear. Hmm. Sorry, I'm not much help.. It really sounds like you want a C10 but couldn't pass up the great body on the C20 - which I can certainly understand. One option is to just wait. Enjoy the truck and fix up any little things that need fixin, and see how it grows on you. You MIGHT change your mind. The C20s I've had seemed to have a better, more solid ride than the C10s I've had - but that could just be because my C10s were pretty tired - and all my C20s have had rear leafs. Most, not all, C10s had standard coils, leafs were an option. (actually that's the case for C20 Chevs also)
