Re: 67 C10. 3/5 drop question

Good suggestions.

I'll add, drop blocks are an easy way to get additional drop. But there are consequences if getting aggressive. Drop blocks beyond 1" in height can put the rear axle scrub-line below the wheel lip if using 15" wheels. In the event of a serious tire failure, the U-bolt ends can make contact w/the road surface. Like dropping an anchor, it's not a big deal if moving unless it catches something or digs in. Wheels w/a larger diameter change the scrub-line dimension offering more wiggle room for a taller block w/o the possible contact concern.

This is just something to be fully aware of when it comes to different lowering methods.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
