front suspenstion parts (Canadians wanted!)
Looking to completely redo my front end this winter, steering, shocks, suspension bushings and anything I may not immediately think of (I know enough about cars just to be dangerous lol)
I am looking for a "list" of parts I will need specifically for this truck, 69 GMC 1500 C/K. I also want to find a good Canadian parts source around Edmonton (Cold lake preferably) |

Re: front suspenstion parts (Canadians wanted!)
It's either a "C" or a "K". The suspension parts are different. Let us know which one it is.

Re: front suspenstion parts (Canadians wanted!)
I believe it is a custom kamper, I will confirm. It is long box with H/D rear springs.
Does this help? ![]() |

C is 2-wheel drive and K is 4 wheel drive.

Re: front suspenstion parts (Canadians wanted!)
A very good Canadian classic GM truck parts supplier is:
Bills' Truck Shop Courtice (Oshawa), Ontario 905.925.3460 ...he is a good guy, very knowledgeable....I've been dealing with him for about 20+ years with zero issues. Regards, Coley

Re: front suspenstion parts (Canadians wanted!)
Scott's Super Trucks in Penhold, Alberta (near Red Deer) is a great place for GM truck parts. Super knowledgeable and a great guy to deal with. I've had parts sent to Regina on a few occasions and have nothing but good things to say. His website isn't the best but just give him a call.

Re: front suspenstion parts (Canadians wanted!)
I agree. Scott's is good. Suspension stuff you can get at any good auto parts store and on line suppliers. Typically a full front suspension involves inner and outer tie rods, new sleeves, upper and lower ball joints, idler and pitman arms, upper and lower control arm bushings and possibly the center link if it's been damaged along the way.
I'd consider upgrading to a later disc brake front end if you are going to put all that into it. The parts are different non disc to disc and years have differences. I'd use a 73-87 set up. The parts are cheaper and really easy to get.

I just figure if you are going to pile the dollars into new parts an upgrade might be a good thing in the process. It definitely complicates things. There are lots of posts on this exact topic

I usually take a page form a catalogue such as this: http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cb/full.aspx?Page=61 Then you can point out the parts you want to anyone. Easy to e-mail/scan/fax etc that way Most suppliers I've run into have their own part # system..and some have their own catalogues as well. |
