Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Found a 78 C10 front suspension on line for a good price. Tomorrow I will start tearing it down and get it ready for paint and reassembly. Any advice is welcome on the 60-62 front suspension swap that would make it easier.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
I have a drilling jig template that references the factory holes and moves the front crossmember forward 1"

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
I don't think people usually move the steering box or idler arm forward, but check other builds. I would only move those if the steering linkage is hitting the crossmember after the move.
The control arm caster mod is pretty easy, and WELL worth it (did it to my '77 and my '61).

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Click on the link I gave you to the pdf of it. You quoted it just now.
It's from this page of my build: https://www.gwellwood.com/project-ca...apache-part-2/

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Made a little more progress on the engine build during the cold weather. I ordered a set of finned rocker covers from Amazon and added some engine paint. Really makes the engine pop! Just have to decide on a drive system and what I’m going to use for fuel delivery.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Your mail was full. I run Hookers HK- 2466 but they don't clear clutch fork. This is why I run a hydraulic bearing on the clutch
