Front suspension and steering linkage, questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71 C-10, 2WD.

When I first dove into this frame-off, I had hoped for some help with the suspension & steering. Same with the steering column, but I learned how to do that too, and glad I did.

Since suspension and steering linkage is all that's left on the truck, less the block and transmission anyways, it's time I learn how this is done.

I find it much easier to have the correct labels of parts before I dive in. A few questions by the novice too. Hopefully the images & captions speak 1000 words. I've numbered the parts to make this more better. Any help, corrections & input appreciated. Thank you.

Images have been updated thanks to board help.
