Removing rearend and suspension - tips
Hey everyone, I am seeking some suggestions. This is my first build on a 68 C10 Stepside. I am currently tearing down the truck to restore as a semi-long term project (its for my son who is 3 yrs old.) I am currently getting the frame and suspension read for air bags and also POR 15 everything.
Anyway, I have the truck up on jack stands and am pulling the entire rear suspension out (I have replacement 5 lug rear) Since I am learning on the fly, I thought I would ask. How should I go about doing this? Obviously, I disconnect all lines, but where do I start un-bolting once I have rear supported by jack? I assume driveshaft, then shocks, then ??? Can someone just point me in the right direct so I don't learn everything the hard way? I have learned a ton on this forum and everyone here has been great so thanks in advance. To date: Removed bed and bumpers Removed bump stops and brackets (prep for bolt in c-notch) Removed support/helper springs Dropped gas tank (from PO rigging) with plans to replace with blazer tank Removed exhaust and all hangers Stripped outer surfaces of frame, etc. with wire wheel and stripping wheel |
