Re: 1969 C10 SWB Stepside - Big Block project

Hoping when I stick my foot in it, it lifts up high enough it won't be a problem. (Kidding)

Yeah, I agree. I will have 20's on the front soon hopefully, not sure what dia tires just yet but I'm going to get that center line measurement before I drop the front. I would think a 2.5" spindle and 2" spring right now but I'm not sure really. With the BB, I'm going to be a little nose heavy too so I'm not going super low with it. I'm pretty particular with measuring and backspace, sidewall height, etc so I'll hopefully get it figured out to work together.

What size and backspace do you guys usually run for 20x8.5 on the front? Thinking Eagle 225's right now but not sure. What's a good wheel / tire combo? There is an awesome copper colored 68 on here with 225's on it. I have been meaning to PM him for his size / drop.

My truck has the 73-87 k member swap if that matters on the front spacing.

Thanks for the compliments!
