Anybody bagged a C20 Burb?

Thinking about putting airbags on my C20 Burb (coil springs) and was wondering if it's anymore difficult than putting them on a half ton burb.

Same deal as 1/2 ton. Early classic has a project burb that they did, you can find it on their website. They have drop spindles that use the 3/4 ton ball joints and tie rods, but allow 5-lug rotors. Curiously, my '72 1/2 ton burb had 3/4 ton ball joints (some trucks about midway through the year are equipped this way) and ECE's spindles were a perfect fit.

I wanted to keep the 8 lug spindles all around, will the drop spindles you described still accept the 8 lug rotors?

I'm not sure. Time to give them a call.

Looks like the spidles on their website are conversion spindles from 8 lug to 5 lug. Found some C20 drop spindles on ebay but they're for 73+ trucks, as I understand it I can use them if I change to 73 ball joints and tie rod ends.

wanted to bring this topic back up because I'm interested in bagging my 70 c20 but I'm unsure if I can get 8 lug drop spindles. looking for 3" if possible. Anyone know what my options are?

Another member did a drop and still retained the 8 lug spindles, see the thread below.

i have a 72 burb body dropped and bagged bought mine in kentucky already done they swithed the axles to the 1/2 ton (five lug) depends all on your wheel sizes( wide and height) my rear bags are mounted on the link bars(stock) the fronts are mounted between the lower control arm and the axle( hides them) good luck dave
