My 1983 Chevy C10's BRAND NEW look!!!!!
 

ok guys, i spend from noon to 10:30 pm Saturday, minus a 2 hr break and about 1 hr this morning doing a FULL drop kit on my truck. I used a Mcgaughys 4.5" front/6" rear drop kit. It consisted of spindles and springs up front as well as a flip kit out back. I still have to install shocks and do some other minor stuff before i can drive it, but its fine as im waiting on a shim for my starter anyway. Heres some pics of it finished. If anyone wants any kind of write up/how to pics i will do those in another thread.

Sitting on Bump Stops - removed and not much change, probably will end up needing to C-Notch it

for some reason this tire is MUCH closer to fender lip than other front tire, not sure if this is alignment issue alone or if i need to go back in and check stuff, i can BARELY get my fingers between tire and fender whereas left front i can fit fingers in there plus extra room

Well guys, let me know what you all think of the outcome and any suggestions on that right front tire being so different from the other three would be awesome, i know i still need to install all 4 shocks, but i doubt thatll change this issue any. also, my buddy says since i lowered it factory alignment specs are incorrect and i need new specs that fit new parts. is this true or not.

Looks like the camber is off, the top of the passanger tire is tilted out...

yeah, ill get that checked after i get shocks on it etc.

Looks good man!! :c:

Looks good I would get realigned before I would worry to much about that tire

lookin good Zach!

thanks guys, the thing that worries me about that tire is that if i turn at all either way itll be into the fender

Looks great man! Im a sucker for these style trucks :tu: Keep us posted on this beast!

The visor is not my style, but I like the truck.
