Suspension- 502 1974 gmc c1500

Hi, my name is Dan. I'm new to the site. I recently acquired a 1974 gmc c1500 shorted stepside. The truck is coming apart this fall down to a rolling chasis and rebuild from there. I would like to start ordering some parts to ensure they are here when I need them. I plan replacing all a arm bushings, springs front and rear and would like to put a 2" drop on it. My question is I have a 502 that I might put in the truck. I want to make sure the truck isn't to nosed down with no travel left to the suspension. And input would be helpful. Thank you.

Crate Motor/ Small Block

June 24, 2022, 01:41:37 PM by Shamrock Motors | Views: 90 | Comments: 3

Hello All,
I am wondering if anyone has run into the issue of finding a new crate motor. Seems all the common areas to look, Summit , Jegs, Etc are either out of them or they are on back order. When I started my project of swapping out my 305 with a standard transmission I had my heart set on the 350/290 replacement engines that all the speed catalogues offered. Now I understand that they have been discontinued. Would anyone have an idea where I could get something close to that offering ?

Thanks

Wheel Swap.

June 21, 2022, 11:34:55 AM by prican_2000 | Views: 119 | Comments: 1

I have an 87 C10 with Wilwood Front Brakes and approximately 5-7 Drop (spindles and springs front, C-Notched out back) currently I have Riddler 650 wheels in 18x8 Fr on 245/40/18 and 0-Offset and 18x9.5 with 275/40/18 (also 0-Offset) and I was wondering if I could run the 18x9.5 (275/40s) in the front??? You might not be able to tell from the pics but the rears have a better sidewall profile that I would love to run in the fronts - well that and the wider wheel with the bigger lips for the front also.

The plan is to buy a set of the 20x10s (even larger lips) with some 295 or 305s to run in the back.

What do you guys think???
