c20 suspension recap?
hello everybody another newbie here, found this site the other day and have been reading ever since! awesome site-so much information its unbelieveable and everyone seems so happy to help! its very appreciated!!
my question is this- i just got a 1968 c20 with rear leafs, 8 lug, manual steering and brakes. from what i gather and excuse me if this incorrect- the front suspension from a 73-87 1/2 ton chev or gmc truck/van will bolt in place to get 5 lug bolt pattern,front disc power brakes? also i can use the booster and master and the p/s parts? the rear diff will be wider by about a inch and a half and will need new perches welded on with a 2 or 3 degree down pinion angle? last ?? i was thinking of using the 5" lowering leafs from early classics, has anyone used these? good or bad?? thanks for the help!!! |

Re: c20 suspension recap?
thanks for the reply good point about the axle flip i guess that slipped my mind. my hope is to get a donor truck and get all my parts in one bunch, hopefully will be a winter spent in my garage!!:lol:
if i did the axle flip--if i weld the perches parallel to the original ones i'm thinking my i wont have enough pinion angle?(probably be around 0 deg.) or would it stay the same? |
