Help deciding my suspension

[1BAD72C10]

I am building my 72 c10 web for pro touring and daily driving. Need help deciding suspension set up. I am definitely going with nre 572 tt hot rod series motor, tranzilla t56, full floating 9" rear end. What I am trying to figure out should I do an ifs and a 4 link rear or something like a hotchkis tvs system. I plan on 20x10 up front and 20x15 on the rear. So any advice I can get would be much appreciated.

Our G-Machine Chassis comes standard with a full floater and has enough space for a 12" front wheel; www.GMachineTruck.com

Have you looked at the NASCAR trailing arm type system.They have been using it since the 60`s.

My first thought when reading your question was that it must be some type of joke. Who would build a Pro Touring "anything" with a 10" front -to- 15" rear wheel-width stagger? I mean, it's going to be a challenge (to say the least) to achieve any sort of cornering balance with that setup.

Then I looked up the engine you referred to and it made a little more sense. 1300 HP on pump gas would warrant some rubber on the rear.

15" may be a little bit "Pro Street" for my taste but hey, it's all about having fun.

You might consider though, as Dale somewhat implied, going for wider wheels up front. That '72 C10 is probably one of the widest vehicles ever to grace American roads and with a little work to inner fender liners should easily swallow 12" wide front wheels. That would balance things out at least a little bit around turns and put some pro touring theme back in to your monster ride.

From the little bit you mentioned about your build plan it looks serious. You might consider a full frame purchase from one of the vendors such as the aforementioned Schwartz, Morrison, TCI et al. My personal favorite is No Limit's Big 10, because I am a mechanical engineer and appreciate that frame's torsional rigidity.

That's my two cents...

Thank you sir. I am considering doing a full frame and keeping the stock frame and purchasing a new cab for it for when my son comes of age to start building his ride. I am great full for any and all comments as I'm going to build the ride of my dreams with this one. Thanks
