1968 gmc c15 coil spring conversion
I wanted to keep my frame and didn't want to transfer all my equipment to another frame so I found a frame with coil springs a 1966 chevy c 10 swb with a 12 bolt rear end
Part list I used
34 - 2" grade 8 bolts
68-lock washers
68-washers
34-nuts
Coil spring brake hose (after hooked up looks like the leaf spring hose would work)
Shocks for coil spring(wanted new)
Now I went ahead and replace all the brakes,hardware and fluid since I already had it tore apart but that would be up to you
Big chisel and a hamer is recommended I found it a lot easier to nock the rivited off with it and a air chisel to know out the rivits
Reason I doubled up on the washers and lock nuts was because I wanted to make sure suspension would hold
First started by removing bed and drive shaft
