Chevy step van

Hey guys, I have a 1973 chevy P10 step van that I purchased from another member on this forum. My son and I are planning on getting started on it around Christmas. I have a question, can I use 1973 pickup suspension parts on this van? We want to lower the van, but I don't know what type of lowering parts to order. I don't know if the spindles on the van are the same as the truck. Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: Chevy step van

I just went and looked up the common suspension part numbers for both your 73 P10-van and a 73 C10-truck. They use the same ball joints and such so you're in luck when it comes to buying parts.
