My 71 c10 swb

Well I was hoping for the rain to stop to get some better pictures but no luck on that. This is the truck I bought yesterday. It's mostly going to be a driver with improvements made slowly along the way.

I'm thinking the wheels are gonna have to go pretty quick and I would like to lower it some but I'm really not too familiar with that yet.

I hope I don't make anyone too upset by asking stupid questions while trying to improve this truck.

I think Im in the minority here but I like stock height myself ,but you have a very nice truck to start with .Wish mine started out that nice ,a set of 8" rally wheels would set yours off nicely but it will be fine whatever route you take with it .

Looks like a nice truck to start out with. What all plans do you have for it?

I did like the stock height until I found this site and all the pics of lowered trucks lol. I do like the rally wheels on these trucks and will keep my eyes open for a set.

The truck is not in too bad of shape. It's got rust in the usual places and the last paint job is not holding up well.

I really don't plan on going crazy with this truck, for a few years anyway, as my wife and 17 year old son plan on driving it regularly.
