Blue '72
Greetings! I recently purchased a 1972 C10 Stepside, and I wanted to introduce myself to the forum.
My name is Nick, and this is my truck.  I was lucky to find a truck in great shape, they aren't too common in my area (South Florida), and the ones that do pop up for sale don't last long on the market. This truck has a few modifications, but nothing over-the-top: Crate 350 motor (bored .040 over) with an aftermarket cam, TH350 Transmission, and 4.10 gears. The front has been lowered with drop spindles and the rear has coil springs. I am not sure what the original ride height was, nor how much it has been lowered, is there a way to determine that? The truck runs great, but it has a few issues that I hope you fellas can help me solve. Little things, squeaks and rattles, electrical issues... I have a list of things that I'd like to fix, but I'll save that for another post! |

Re: Blue '72
Welcome! I was going to say that someone in the suspension section (or even here) can probably tell you how to measure to find out if you have dropped spindles. Since you know you do, maybe you could compare ride heights with someone else that has the same amount of drop in the spindles.
