Quick question lowering a C-20
 
I'm just getting into chevy trucks. I have a 67 with 8 lugs witch I think makes it a c20. I'm going to bag it. My question is, I'd there a diff in the suspension besides the 8 lugs and springs. And are the control arms the same between c10 and c20 trucks. Please help pics would be great. Help ten newbie out Thanks!!!!

Control arms are only different @ the lower BJ hole. C20's use a larger diameter BJ vs. C10's.

The pre-71 C20's can also use spindles (or drop spindles) from C20/C30/C3500 (71-89 GM trucks) for disc brake swapping.
