Looks good Bill. That's the drop I'd have on mine if it was lowered.

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

My '66 has 2.5" drop spindles in the front and 3" drop springs in the rear. Most of the rake comes from the 18's up front and 20's in the back. Even after the tires there's just over a 2 inch difference in the overall wheel size.

Vary cool, but I hope they have good seat belts to keep them from falling out of there seats every time they stop, but I guess in a car like that you don't do much stopping.
