Re: '80 C10 drag truck project

I picked up most of my front suspension parts Tuesday. I am adapting a dirt late-model type system with tubular control arms, pinto spindles and coil overs. These are some sweet looking parts but I'm thinking its going to ride rough when it does see road use due to the use of heims rather than rubber bushings but I'll just deal with it. I have the spindles mounted on the mill now so I can ream the lower ball joint taper, to accept the Chrysler screw in ball joint, then I will carefully start to layout all the mounting points. Also i would like to order a rack and pinion now but it looks like I have to wait to see what length I need to get the least bump steer possible. Ill take some pictures today in class throw them up tonight.
