Starting the tear down and rebuild on my 71.

[BlueyC10]

Hey all. New guy here. Recently bought my first c10 in august. This post is more so leaning and aimed towards rear chassis work. I pulled the bed off my truck, to really get a good look at what I’m working with. The history of this truck, is beyond me. Don’t really know how and when it got to this point. But now I’m getting ready to really get this thing right, and suit my wants.

Truck was originally a c20 long bed. Shortened the absolute wrong way, where it was cut under the cab, and just welded back together, zero support inside the frame. So that’s getting plated on the inside. It’s a leaf spring truck. I have an idea in my head of how I want to lower the rear of this truck, and I want to hear more advice/opinions.

C notch
Axle flip
Rear shock relocate

Just having a hard time shopping parts. I really want to start fresh on all parts (leafs, shackles, etc) just not 100% sure on what to order.

I’ll slap some pics in here, and go from there.

Hoping for some good input, as facebook is dead to me LOL
