little more specific please are we talking about 2wd or 4wd, and what exactly are you tring to bolt on?? spindles, front axle, crossmember, tie rods, ball joints, brakes, control arms, what?

Sorry about not being specific. Well, on front end, I am thinking about switching to disc brake and change to 5 or 6 lugs. Also I am thinking about softer ride since this is not gona be work truck, mainly daily ride. On the rear end, I consider to have a the same lug pattern of front and better ride quality. Ride quality is not as important as disc brake and lug pattern. Also, another factor is the cost. I've heard that C10 parts are cheaper and more available than C20. Simlpe language is appreciated since I am a newbie in this truck world.
Thanks for reply.

well to begin if you are looking for disk brakes in a half ton you will be searching for 1971-72 parts.

as far as cost, C-20 will cost more for new parts, C-10 will be more in used parts (harder to find)

the C-10 control arms, spindles, and 5 lug disk brakes are a direct bolt on for the front if you get all of these pieces. the Calipers are the same on a c-10 and c-20 as well as the pads.

The rearend is a direct swap out with coil spring truck if you can find a used 1/2 ton rear end from a 71 or 72 coil spring truck. If you have leaf springs on your c-20 then you can find a rear end from a 73-87 half ton and modify it a little to work.
