Re: "Wrongside" - 1967 Right-hand Drive C10

Yeah I have that manual. Handy to have, when you can find anything in it.

Actually the front suspension system in these trucks is fairly simple. It's pretty much a parallel system. By the looks of it all they had to do was switch around the Pitman Arm & Idler arm with its mounting bracket.

Haven't had the chance to have a proper look under there yet, but as I see it that's all that they've really done. The idler arm mimics the position of the Pitman arm on the other side, in relation to the frame etc - so everything else is still the same.
