    Steering Wheel Cleaning

    Dawn, warm water, and a fairly stiff bristled brush. Helps to wet a towel with the soapy solution and wrap it on the wheel for a bit before using the brush. Softens up the grime.

    Does anyone experience a drop in rpm when turning on the A/C?

    Rpms on my 350 drop a touch when I turn on the a/c. Does the engine stall out? Idle speed may be set too low.

    Free Hood Lift System for 1973-1980 Truck

    Yeah reminds me of my 928. The rear hatch was pretty heavy and when the struts got weak that thing would mouse trap the hell out of you. I would stick with springs.

    Pure SEX!

    68 and 69 don't have the little fender flares at the back of each wheel well. Much more pure design. Had the shark gills too instead of the eggcrate fender vents.

    Wheel help/opinions

    7" wheel and 235/70 would give you a pretty vertical side wall on the tire. 8" and 275/60 would do that as well. My 6" wheel pulls the side wall in, 10" pulls the side wall out. I didn't use a 7" on the front because I already had the stock 6" wheels and wanted that big and little look. If I...

    Wheel help/opinions

    I don't know if the track width on these trucks is the same front and rear, but if so, then using 8 and 10" wheels will set the front 1 3/4" narrower than the rear. My front track is tucked in just over 3" narrower than the rear on a 6" wheel as you can see in the last pic. You said that would...

    8" AR61 has a 3.75" back space. 10" wheel is a 4" back space. So difference of 1.75" toward the outside. Definitely noticeable difference I would say. When I say fill out the wheel well I mean vertically. Sounds like you mean horizontally. Look at the pics of my truck and imagine the rear wheel...

    Sounds like 7" front and 8" rear wheels are what you're after. That way you can run the 235/70 and 275/60 without it looking "weird". I will say that your truck sits a little high for a big and little set up. Looks better on a lower truck IMO.

    Wheel help/opinions

    I'm looking to get a set of American Racing Torque Thrust originals in 7 and 8.5" just to switch up the look. They don't offer a 10" which would be my preference but the 8.5 has a 3.79 back space so still looks pretty deep.

    Wheel help/opinions

    I love the 10" rears, wanted big and fat back there and I wanted to stay with 28" tall to fill out the wheel well. The 255/60s are a bit shorter at 27". My rears have a 4.5" backspace so they can tuck under the fender even as low as my truck is. The front track is narrower than the rear but in...

    Wheel help/opinions

    The 10" AR61s are listed as a 4" backspace. That would rub the fender on my truck. Should work for you if your truck is going to sit as pictured. Mine has a flip kit so it's lowered about 7". 8" would look good on your front I think and 235 would work on an 8".

    Poll: alternative 20” wheel options

    I'm not a fan of the big wheels. I like more sidewall on my tires. That being said, those Scottsdales are pretty slick.

    Help

    Welcome. When you say struts, you mean shocks right? 2wheel drive or 4? LMC truck parts lists upper and lower front shock mounting bolts for 4wheel drive applications. New front shocks that I've bought in the past have included new upper bolts that attach to the frame. Which are you looking for?

    Lowering 1981 c20

    Chassis Tech Suspension shows a 6/8 kit to fit your c2500. (the listing reads 6/6 AND 6/8??) Apparently there are two styles of calipers to deal with, bolt on or clip on. You'll want to check which ones you have, then contact them for fitment. They also show individual parts that will hopefully...

    Lowering 1981 c20

    Chassis Tech Suspension on Ebay shows 2" drop springs and shackles to fit c20, c2500. I would contact them to confirm fit though.
