Question. I bought a 69 c50 and Im going to swap in my 79 K3500 DRW axles in. Any idea how close the spring perches are to a 3500 axles? I dont have my hands on the c50 yet.

The frame width on a C50 is 34" to the outside. Not real sure what the perch width is on a 3500DRW. It will depend on the spring mounts you choose to use to mount the springs to the frame. It's easy to cut the perches off and weld a new set on when you get all shackles and springs, etc mounted to the frame.

I'm picking my c50 up Sunday and the k3500 parts are at a friends house so its hard to plan. My 60 front perches are 32 so were def in the neighborhood. Thanks for looking.
