1971 C20 Static drop.
Looking to drop my 71 c20 but i'm having a hard time finding the parts i need.. I DON'T WANT TO DO A C10 AXLE SWAP! I want to have a dropped 3/4 ton long bed for a bike hauler.
So far I found These for the spindles. Springs Can't find a flip kit for the rear! also don't know how legit the drop spindles or the springs are... ANY help would be rad! |

Re: 1971 C20 Static drop.

Re: 1971 C20 Static drop.
POL sells the front spindles and cut one (or one and a half coils). 14bolt? They dont make flip kits for that. You need to buy new perches and weld them on.

Re: 1971 C20 Static drop.
Hate to bring up an old post but was wondering if spindles from a 1987 c3500 would work on a 1971 C20 suburban?

Re: 1971 C20 Static drop.
They are from early classics. It's the c20 to c10 conversion drop spindle. 2-1/2 drop. Check out there site but I believe it runs standard c10 brakes. Bought my truck with them on and when I went to swap to tubular control arms that's when I found out I have all 3/4 ton suspension. I ended up buying drop 1/2 ton spindles to run the tubular arms.
100 bucks plus the ride and there yours The only thing I'm not sure is the brakes. I have 6 lug so that's why I thought I had 1/2 ton stuff up there. Not sure if you can run the 3/4 ton brakes |
