Re: 72 c10 prerunner ideas...
Not tech, but here is a picture. Back in the old days it was one ton dually front coil springs and dual shocks on a hoop with the lowers coming off the upper control arm. Rear trailing arm again with 3/4 ton springs. The rear end had been converted to leafs when this picture was taken. Still running a 12 bolt with a weld on truss. This was in the mid 70's, tire sizes were only 32-33 inches!
Lots has changed since these days. Most kids daily drivers/prerunners are built to a higher standards than these old race trucks were!
This was Dave Parsons either at Parker or Barstow, I forget which. He would race the local races, could not afford Baja. Mostly Parker, Barstow or Vegas.
Also thought I would throw in an early version of Walkers Chevy built by Dick Russell. (Big Oly builder for Parnelli)
