Fabricating my 69 C10, questions on Radiator and Disc?
I'm in the process of changing my front drums to Disc, 6 lug to 5 lug. I went to a junk yard and got a 71's front end. (Front A arms-Disc) I've just ripped the engine out of my 69 C10(388 stroker, 9.5 to 1 Compression!) and about to start unbolting the front end "A" arms. [Also in the process getting the new 71 Arms sand blasted to clean them up]
Question is? I've heard getting a 71's front end disc I can unbolt my 69's front end and rebolt up the 71's front end "A" arms? Is that so with out having to fabricate anything? Also: What year should I go find a "master cylinder" pump from to replace my small master cylinder? Or do I need to? (As you can see, I know somewhat whats going on, but still in the misted of question exactly what steps?? So if you got any, I mean any tips...let me know! Please!) Questions: -Where can I find new or used(what year) brake lines to update the old school 69 ones? -RADIATOR---what year can I find another radiator to replace my leaking one? (If you have an online site please post!) -I also have a 93 rear end axle with 3.42 gears in it to go 6 to 5 lug. On top of that instead of rebuilding my 93 drum brakes I just recently went to a junk yard and pulled 98 drums to upgrade to newer brakes! -I've also heard the rear axle is shorter than the original 69's? Mine now is a 93 axle....is there a difference I need to look out for such as "spacers" or anything? Sorry I'm rambling all over in this Thread. :\ But in different question because I literally am in the middle of this upgrade in drums to disc. 8X10 to 20's. lol Any Idea where I can find a good deal on Wheels and Tires? (REAlly wanting the Torque Thrust or Torque Thrust II's) ????? I'll try to post updating photos as my Summer Projects rolls on!! Pretty excited! |
