Re: New Wheels on the Project C10

I am interested in this as well. I really want to mildly bag mine like this truck but am worried about it handling the power.

I have just driven it around the block, not really getting on it yet. I am sure it won't like it much. If I were to do it again, I would go 4-link. By the time you by the flip kit, drop shackle, new bushings, etc, if or a little bit more you can get a universal 4-link. I will be switching it to a 4-link in the near future.

The spindle is about an 1/16" too long. I am going to run a .25" spacer on the front, so they will definitely clear.

Thanks. We sell the wheels, just PM me what sizes you are looking for and can get you some pricing. The link is to the wheels on our site. They go for around $850 for a set of 20's in polished. Also have gray and black.

Here is a link to the build thread page that shows the rear setup. It doesn't show the shock mounts, but I made a bracket off the spring plate for the lower shock mount. The upper is still on the frame. If I can find pictures, I will PM them over to you.

Surprisingly its not an issue. I had a AoL on my 77 after I added the Ramjet 350 and never had any wheel hop. The Ramjet had enough torque to break them loose with out any hop at all.

The rear is not tubbed, and the rear is bagged. Not sure what drop it equals, but the center pumpkin hits the bottom of the bed.

I haven't really driven the truck to find out, but am curious also. I am switching to a 4-link, so might not find out at all. I think cal tracs would work with the setup.
