Re: 1970 C10 Long Bed Build

As I stated I am converting the truck to disc brakes (at least in the front for now). I also would like to be able to use the truck as a truck is intended. For these reason I decided to drop the entire front suspension and replace it with a c20 assembly with disc brakes.

Besides working in the dirt in an old junkyard with limited tools everything went fairly smooth during the removal. I was able to float the engine while removing the front suspension it was then set on blocks.

At this point the truck is going to be staying 2wd. However, in the future, I may be swapping to 4wd. I will just have to see where this build takes me, but for now I will proceed with truck as 2wd.

I did not have jack stands at the junkyard so I used the biggest logs I could find to hold the truck up. Yes this is not the most safe but jack stands would have sunk in the ground and I kept the jack under the car at all times.
