Clarification needed - Brakes and steering
Hey guys,
I'm about ready to start getting my components for updating my control arms, ball joints, brakes and power steering. I've found an 87 C10 That I plan on taking the entire crossmember (arms, spindles, coils, rotors, steering linkage, and Steering gearbox) and rebuild everything before I install everything into the truck. It's my understanding that I will have to drill 2 more holes in my frame when I bolt the crossmember in, and will need to use the linkage from the 87 in order to make everything work. Additionally, I need to use the HD C10 spindles in order to use a 6 lug rotor, correct? My understanding on a few things are kind of murky. Can I use my NON Power steering Gearbox with the 87 linkage, or are the pitman arms that different? The reason I ask this is because I don't have any bracketry for the pump, and stuff. plus, I think my alternator is currently in the way of where the pump would go... ![]() Second, once I bolt on the adaptor bracket from Captain fab, I will have to lengthen the connecting rod that run through the Booster, correct? And I've seen some posts that mention and show having to relocate the attachment point of the brake pedal linkage? Why is this necessary? I would assume that since the only thing you are doing is making the rod longer, you wouldn't need to relocate it. Little help? TL : DR Questions: Use HD C10 Rotors to retain 6 lug bolt pattern? Is there any parts store equivalent to the aftermarket 6 lug rotors from ECE? Can you use the non-PS gearbox with the 87 C10 steering linkage? I have to lengthen *AND* relocate the brake booster rod? Bonus question, Can anyone provide me a picture of how their power steering and alternator are installed on a 283?
