New guy from GA, let me introduce you to Ruby

[thompson335]

thought I would introduce my self.

Just bought a 1980 short bed C10, and just sold off a turbo civic I built up from the ground up. I am getting older and thought it was time to grow up and get an adult car. I went back to my first love. I have always like these old C10s. I grew up as a teenager driving a C30. I guess you could say I went back to my roots. She is a non AC 250 straight 6,with very little rust thru, but we have big plans for her. first a 4.5 / 6 drop kit, some new wheels, AC, and a Turbo LS Swap. I have been ready a lot of the drop and wheel combos on this sight and see a lot of people running to different size wheels front and back. is there a reason not to run all four the same say something like 255/60/17 all the way around?

Welcome aboard! I don’t see an advantage to running different sized tires unless there’s a weird clearance issue, but I doubt there would be in this case.

Thanks guys, can't wait to get this thing lowered. My Western chassis kit should be here in a few days.

Welcome

I avoid different size tires when reasonable...like on a street truck.

Love that “getting started” stage.

Little update on her now. Rebuilt the front end and added a Western chassis 4.5 / 6 drop kit.

Ruby looks like a good start
