Getting a Dropmember soon, need some help
So I've been looking around here and doing my research, and I've decided I'm going to order a Dropmember from Porterbuilt. I talked to Nate on the phone the other day, super nice guy, answered and helped me with any and all questions. He is definitely getting my business.
This is my plan: I have a '68 LWB C20. I am wanting to go with the Dropmember front and rear kits. My question is this, will the regualr C10 Dropmember work on my c20 frame? From what I've read, the difference between C10's and C20's is that the lower Control arms are different, correct? But I think I may have also read somewhere that the frame may be taller?? What I plan to do is order the Dropmember, then go find upper/lower arms and spindles from a 73-87 C10. will this work on my C20 frame? Thanks in advance for any help. |

Re: Getting a Dropmember soon, need some help
You need to call "The Man" again. Like you already stated, he is a super nice guy and has all the answers for his products. It seems when I talk to him nothing is under thought. lol He should be charging me when I call him for all the education he gives me.

Yes, the 73-87 C10 a-arms & spindles will swap to your current C20 chassis.
