Re: 1964 C10 fleet side swb
Yeah thats how I am used to installing them as well.
I just think these are too much of a drop, they are still moving in the pockets even clocked correctly on bottom or top. I believe when I hit some pot holes or bunps and the suspension raises the springs are just moving around in there loose. Either going to get some 2" drop coils or find an isolator that fits. Pretty sure these are 3" coils, with the frame jacled up I can spin them slightly before they catch. When they uncompress on a bump they could be moving all around. Also thought about using a j bolt to cinch them down. There is a hole right inside the lower pocket to put it in. -- Picked up some J hooks and habe both coils locked down, will mark the coils and see tomorrow if they are still able to rotate.

Re: 1964 C10 fleet side swb
So the springs are rotating causing the issues with the bolts they did good for quite awhile, but over time the j hook loosened and the spun again and are rubbing.
Will likely go to a 2" spring sometime or another in the future. Laced the roof a few weeks ago, it came out pretty cool, did not lay a base coat so the factory primer would come through. Ordered the rear disc setup with E-brake from Speedway and will be converting the rear to disc like the front in the next few weeks. Looks pretty simple, got a disc to disc prop valve that will need to be put on as well.

Re: 1964 C10 fleet side swb
Disc brakes mostly on, speedway kit went on pretty well.
Took awhile b/c the instructions are trash. Had to use the included spacers since I am running the 67' axles and carrier, they are 1/2 wider than the stock 64 per side. Fit well, instructions say to weld on the included hose bracket...kit does not come with this. So ordered those and will finish it all up next week im off. Need to weld on brackets to axle tube, then cut down hard lines and tie it togethor and bleed brakes. Got E-brake adjusted and it works well, can't spin tire by hand at all. Release ebrake and it spins with a tiny drag. Will see how well they work after kts finished next week.
