Thumbs up Starting with the front on my 66 LWB.

I am starting to work on the front suspension and brakes on my 66 LWB c10. Can anyone tell me which vendor ( CPP / LMC / or whom ever else) has the best "kit" for a completely new front suspension (w a 2 to 3 inch drop) and all new disc brakes, lines, booster, master cylinder, etc...... I am looking to buy la complete kit for both brakes and suspension?? Any advice would help please, if you can provide item or kit number from each vendor that would be great! Thanks John

Hi John have you looked at the options on swapping in a later model crossmember? That is the route I am taking on my '64 shorty build.

TW, thanks for the replay. I have only seen the ones from CPP. Let me know how they work for you on your build and if a major help. Good luck with things!

There are some very good write ups on this forum about swapping in a 73-87 Chevy pickup complete front suspension. Almost a direct bolt in. Take a look before you pop for a kit.
