As posted earlier if he wants drop spindles he needs 70 up conversion . Now you can buy a kit....in my .02 overpriced or source the parts you want. All of this info is on suspension section. Look up lolife! He will line you out!
someone is smarter than Rob and I ....I have 2 questions for the experts
1. how does he identify what year frame & front steering / suspension he has and ( should he )2. are 67 & 68 front steering / suspension different ball joint and all from 69-70 . just sayin  |
You beat me to it lol but that is exactly what I need to know!
From my research I understand 70 earlier has different ball joints etc. than 71-72 but can never figure out what I have. I even researched what year started using front disc breaks I get 1971 but I've had others tell me they had 71 c10s with drum brakes! I don't know how truthful that is but either way it would be great to know this info!!
I was going to buy a donor truck/front end but either way I want to buy drop spindles so really I hate to invest to much in a donor if I'm going to buy drop spindles and lowering springs. Someone heated the front coil springs on my 71 so either way I have to buy springs. Example what if I spend X amount on a donor truck or front end and the rotors, calipers etc. are not the best and end up having to buy new. That is what I worry about lol I'm on a super tight budget to begin with I really need to make wise decisions the first time around!!
