The genesis of the Chevy truck as we know it began in 1960 with the C10. With firsts such as a ladder frame design and an independent front suspension, GM built these trucks as workhorses that you could live with every day. With optional small-block V8 power, the potential for hot rodding was also there.

Having all the horsepower is obviously the most fun and important in a fast car, however, you need to put it to the ground safely and consistently. Having strong axles and a good differential can help you in that department! Keep your car planted and going straight.
