Suspension Questions???

I have a '71 c10 swb, it has leaf springs on the rear. So I want to know if a flip kit for a 73-87 c10 will work? If so what is the best way to go. Thanks

Re: Suspension Questions???

The pre-73 leafs are 2.25" wide (IIRC) & the post-73 are 2.5". I've heard of guys trimming the 'flip' bracket to the same width of the leafs & using the later kits. You should be able to get 71-72 year model specific flip kits though.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
