Hey Guys
Im usually in the 60-66 forum but looking to swap front ends from your era for a stop, drop, and roll upgrade. Theres a crap load of info in our section but its got my head swimmin so I thought Id come straight to source - please point me elsewhere if its already been covered

besides 1.00 and 1.25 rotors, is there ANY differences/improvements, or things to steer clear of between 73 and 87 c10 front ends? Did all (or any) of these years come with front sway bar?

I am either trying to find a parts truck on CL or headin to pick-a-part and want to know if there is a particular year to hunt for or shy away from

one last - these 2wd c10 are referred to as Silverados, right? Cheyenne is c20/ 3/4, right?

Thanks!
