Help with lifting 72 c10
i am looking to do a 3 inch block lift on the truck, does anyone know of a place where I can get new bumper mounts? Or maybe a better cheaper way to lift my truck? I'm 16 and tight on money

Why not install taller 3/4-ton springs?

Maybe because that's what he wants? My buddies 16yr old son also wants to lift his 68 despite the fact it's 2wd. I tried to sell the idea of leaving it as it or mild drop but he wants it taller than stock w/larger tires. To each his own....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Lifting a 2wd is harder then a 4x4 and sometimes cost more.
