C20 to c10 conversation

Ok I have searched on this but need to know more. I just picked up a 1971 c20 that I want to make into a c10. I know that I need c10 spindles and a 5 lug rearend. What else do I need? Lower control arms are different between the two correct? I also see that early chevy has a spindle that uses the c20 lower control arm. Is that everything that I need?

Thanks

There will probably be more info in the suspension area. Here is my 67 C20 longbed to C10 shortbed thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=654861

Re: C20 to c10 conversation

the reason I want to do this is to have the 5 lug wheels and the ability to have a decent gear in it to drive on the highway
