Front Suspension-Rebuild-Swap
Please humor me as I know I'm a bit inept at this point. Browsed more than participated so still new to the forum.
Working on a 1968 C10. I do NOT want to bag this truck. Coil suspension. Picked up a complete front crossmember from an 86 c10 for next to nothing off of Craigslist. Was going to just swap them and fix the broken/rotted parts. I've decided to redo quite a bit of it. So, if someone could assist me in what I need or where I'm messing up, I'd appreciate it. Found out too late that it's a LD setup. Plans are to switch to HD setup. I'm not a licensed mechanic, but I can turn a wrench and I can follow directions. This build is something that I want to put as much of my own time and experience into so that when my son gets older, I can help him with one. First- I'm going to pick up the following:
Have I missed anything there? C20 kit doesn't offer power steering pieces comparable to C10 performance package. Will I need to replace the LD brake backing plate with a HD one? Lastly- It's cheaper for me to buy Moog powder coated A arms (without ball joint and bushing), than it is for me to have these media blasted and powder coated. Taboo or am I in for a headache since it's not original? If there's no issue, is there a difference between C10 and C20 A arms? Thanks in advance. |
