Re: 71 c20, to a 90 c1500 frame...

Why bother?The suspensions aren`t that different as far as technology goes.Is it to get a certain custom wheel?There are plenty of 8-lug custom wheels and tire sizes.Guys with 1/2tons want bigger brakes and 3/4tons have them.The coil rear is easier to get more drop out of.You could swap the`90 front end assembly under the`71 if you want to use that.The rear can take any 1/2t rear out of a coil sprung truck.
