Hi guys, new here but not new with these trucks (well maybe I am)...

I have a 66 c20 that me and my dad have been working on for a good 12 years on and off... My dad has been sick for some time now and I am bringing the truck back to my house to finish and give back to him when done to cruise around.... He has had the truck since 1976 and he gave it to me in 1997 where I converted it to disc brakes (8 lug) added power steering and brakes... Rebuilt the motor and added A.C..... Then I got a divorce so I gave it back to him, she was'nt going to get the truck too!!!

My question is I want to convert it to 1/2 ton... I have been reading alot on this great sight and see there are several ways to go... my dad got a front cross member and rear end years ago but he cant remember what year it is.. I checked it out and the rear is set up for leaf spring and the front is disc 5 on 5 lug pattern... I think it may be from a 71-72 GMC but not sure??? I think the GMCs had leaf in the rear???

I like the idea of using 73 and up arms and spindle but the lower a-arm on my 3/4 ton has a flat bar going across where it mount to the crossmember not the round mounting bar on the ones I have seen...So will the 73 and up lower a-arm mount up properly or do I need the whole crossmember???

Any help would be great!!! Oh, and my name is Ron and Im addicted to this truck again!!!
