1986 Chevrolet C10 Complete Suspension

Ball Park Estimate...

How much would it cost to get the WHOLE suspension done on my 86 C10?

Need more information please. What exactly are you trying to do? Rebuild it, drop it, bag it?

Local auto parts pricing for me on Moog (top of the line) parts...

Upper BJ's @ $51ea (x2 = $102)
Lower BJ's @ $40ea (x2 = $80))

Upper a-arm bushings @ $25pr (= $50 both sides)
Lower a-arm bushings @ $33pr (= $66 both sides)

Tie Rod Ends @ $28ea (inner & outer same price; x4 = $112)

Idler arm @ $97 (x1)
Pitman arm @ $67 (x1)

Grand total estimated for the Moog product line = $574.

Now they also offer their 'house' brand @ a significantly reduced price vs. the Moog line & typically w/a similar warranty for sometimes 1/2 the price. Pricing the 'Master-Pro' product line for the same list/quantity of items above = $257.

The labor to do the work will vary according to the shop & your location.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Those are all of the wearable items related to the suspension. Of course there's always brake related items too or the shocks & sway-bars. Shocks would depend on what brand chosen. The sway bar bushings are fairly inexpensive (<$50 for poly bushings from Energy Suspension).

Brakes would also be dependant of brand availability & how far you went. Rotors, wheel bearings, races, seals, rubber flex lines & calipers could all need to be replaced or simply inspected.
