dooring a 85 c10 have questions..!HELP!

oh yea sorry guys im gonna stockfloor this truck not traditional..so ok if i z the frame 3" and then put 2x3 tubing in there how far on these frames are u able to move the body mount down?..if its only 3" then that means i have to get 3" from somewhere else so can i shorten the mounts that on the underside of the cab down 3" to equal a 6" bodydrop or is there another way of doing it?

What size tire r u going to run (total height)

well if i run the 22s i prob will go with the 265/35/22 tires witch is overall height of 29.3" and if i go wit the 24s i will go with a 275/30/24 tire wit is overall height of 30.5"

ok so we have came to the conclusion that it needs a 2.5 to 3" z and 2x3 frame move the mounts down as far as i can on the frame witch is prob 3" at the most then section about 1"-2" out of the mounts on the bottom side of the cab to get this thing to lay doors on 22s or 24s or right close to the doors?..am i correct?

i dont believe there is enuf room to run 24s on a 30ser. on door i think they will try to stick out of the hood. but really the easiest way to figure it all out on your own to be sure is to measure from the ground to bottom of frame and then from ground to bottom of door theres your difference. the frame should be like 6in tall stock, so 2x3 will get you a good start.

yea man thats what i was thinking about doing to measureing it like that and then go from there..but yea i might just go with some 22s on there im thinkin that will be plenty enough. thanks for the help guys

On mine i did a 2.5 z,3inch body, and 2x3 frame. I had 23s on it but they stuck out of the hood! Mine is still not finished!
