NEED help swaping out front ends on 69 c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mwilliams5891 · 10-08-2010, 02:37 PM

Hey so I just bought a running 1969 C-10 with tons of parts for $1500! WOOT! WOOT!

needless to say im excited. so I pretty much have two of everything: Cabs, hoods, rear end, front end, 3 dash cluster, bench seats, fenders, and tons more. but i wanted to swap out the front ends because the other one has power steering also was going to swap for disc brakes...

so anyone want to help walk me through some of this or show me post

Im a pre-med student doing this for his wife so i dont have all the time or money in the world. but im pretty handy and determined.

Matthew

I think all you need to do is swap out the spindles for the disc brake setup. Then you'll need the prop. valve from the disc brake setup. Then just change the steering boxes out and add a power steering pump.
