Wheels & Tires / Re: Help with C10 Short Box Front Tire Size

This isn't exactly the best picture and it isn't a pickup but it was my 2WD Jimmy at stock height with 275/60/15's at all 4 corners which were previously on my 73 pickup:

Yes I do think the rears look good. I guess I wasn’t sure if I should go with a slightly smaller tire up front or not. I like the look of a smaller tire on cars like novas and chevelles but not sure about that look for the square body. So the bigger meats look good up front? Any tire rubbing issues? Would you happen to have a photo of what that looked like?
Thanks

If you like the way the rear looks, I would just run the same tire size on the front.  That is what I ran when I had 15's

Wheels & Tires / Help with C10 Short Box Front Tire Size

« Last post by bshrubb on May 21, 2026, 02:35:49 pm »

Hi everyone, I’ve got a 1980 Chevy C10 short box 2wd. I’ve had it for over 20 years and this will be the first time putting front tires on it. It’s at stock ride height for now and I’m running the 8” stock steel rallye wheels. I’ve got a good set of 275/60 bfg radial ta’s on the back. I’m looking for advice on what front tire size would best compliment those rears and give the truck the best look. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Interior & Equipment / Re: Cruise control speeds up

Welcome to the Forum.  I suspect that either the servo vacuum valve solenoid is sticking and bleeding vacuum to the servo diaphragm, or the servo vent valve solenoid is sticking, or the module is failing.  See the Custom Cruise III manual for system operation.

Interior & Equipment / Cruise control speeds up

After replacing the control arm on the steering column I was happy to see the cruise control works on this old girl. The issue is it  will not maintain a steady speed on a flat straight road. The speed creeps up as I'm driving. Any suggestions on what to check would be great. Thanks in advance and happy wrenching.

I know it does. But until then I was looking for a delete kit with black trim to cover it all up now.

If you are going with Vintage Air they include block off plates for the kick panels.

I am looking to out vintage air into my truck. I don't see the need for it. The plastic is brittle and blue. I am changing my interior to black. I was thinking if there was a delete kit that could seal the vent and have a nice trim piece to cover it. It would make it fresh.

I'll have to replace everything to keep them. Any recommendations on new kits for both sides to replace? Other then  .
