82 front suspension in 67

[hooperca]

So I purchased an entire 82 C10 front suspension and put it in my 67, crossmember and all. Trucks still not on the road but I’m getting closer. So, my question…I didn’t get the steering box and I plan to order one, for the 82. I know I’ll have to notch my frame for it. Do I order the V8 pitman arm and idler arm for the 82, and will the idler arm bolt on in place of the 67 idler arm?

Thanks all!

Rather than cutting frame some guys heat and dimple it.

Yeah, I should’ve been more clear about that…dimple, not cut!��

Pitman arm is the same for the years, but differs between manual & power steering, but when I did my old 70 I always bought ones for a 78, which is the front end I put in. Idler arm Is the same for power and manual trucks, but again to keep it simple, I always order the 78 year.

I would order pre 78 as well. Steering boxes after 78 ase metric thread

Order all the suspension pieces for a 73-79 its all the same... and yes the idler arm will bolt right up
