Old man constantly asked to drop his truck.Any stock height C10s left in the world??

And don't even get me started on the "Carolina Squat" phenomenon.

That's a very sharp truck. Drive it with pride.

To an outsider (Australia) the carolina squat looks ridiculous and screams "I am desperate to get noticed " and will do anything to make that happen.
Take a short wheelbase square remove the bed and fit another cab facing to the rear would be a trend and only a little bit more "Stupid" than the Coralina squat.

All original ‘77 step. Never even considered lowering.

Man, I like the Cragars on there!

Both look great! I might change them out seasonally, lol, for a fresh look if I had those 2 options sitting on the floor.

I dig the stock height on the 77. The pipes make it look a bit lower imo.
That said, the only reason it don’t have a 3/4 or 3/5ish drop is lack of spare time.

That pic is distorted. Similar to what a mild drop would look like.
Because it’s bone stock with all the heavy rear springs still.

My 76 is stock, besides having 200k+ miles on the springs, and the air compressor adds some weight over the rear and levels it some I’m sure.

It sits on 31x10.5x15s, in my opinion it sits right for that tire size. I think that (I’ve never measured it, spitballing here) the top of the tire about ±2” from the wheel opening is about right visually. For example, a F44 (big ten/heavy half) with not sagged out springs, a short tire (say 24”-26”) just would not look right as the gap would be huge, added that the front and rear wheel openings on these trucks are positioned different which adds to the visual issues.

I think @Grit dog is onto something with sidepipes changing the perceived height too. And other things like running boards.

Now, years ago, I photoshopped it about dragging the rockers (on 235/75/15s at the time), I gotta say, I dig it. I’d probably never go that low as that would require a lot of modifications to do that and likely would fall off of the practicality scale.

I think this is the original photo for reference.

As I said earlier in this thread, I generally like these trucks in all configurations and takes quite a bit to “ruin” one for me. Certainly some that have things I would not personally do, but appreciate it.

I put a lot of value on the craftsmanship/workmanship of a vehicle (or anything really), there are lots of frame draggers, stock, and high riders that have exceptional quality work done to them, as there are examples of all of those that are hack jobs and poorly put together. Tasteful and tasteless comes in all configurations.

Just my 2¢ I’m giving out for free.

My 75 is stock height. I didn’t know drops were so popular, I thought people wanted lift kits

I think my 86 GMC is the only truck in Texas that doesn't have an LS swap or is lowered!

Nahh - I have a 1989 3/4 ton Suburban on all-original suspension with the factory 454....its under a car cover right now (and getting dark out) so no up-to-date pic; its the one in my profile thumbnail though.
