Got the front frame tore down to this. I will begin with removing the ball joints and strip the a-arms down to be powder coated or imron Black painted....Might as well do the same to this lower X-member...

Here is one of the original front coil spring decal stickers for a C/20 402 T-400 with A/C P/S Disc Brakes and 16.5" rims. This truck was also originally a Custom Camper edition. In my Camaro ID'ing, the more the options and weight class etc, the front springs decal ID's and part #s will change. So, this is the correct Decal ID GM part # from this application!

Got these off today and found the asembly line paint swipe on the backside of the upper section of the spindle.
It appears as such: White paint dabbed first, the a baby blue color over the top of that one. I looked the lower portion of the spindle and there was none of this there.
I assume, for resto purposes, that the white was for the first torque securing ID'ing, and the blue was for the 2nd securing. I am sure this was done so that the final check off of all safety items were checked off!
This application is from the same truck above: C/20 402/T-400 Custom Camper front Disc Brakes...

Are these original???
Same truck: C/20 CC 402 A/C etc etc
They are stamped GM, with the part # of 4974666; both L/R shocks have the same #s on them.
I will post all the #s off the bottom of these as I can...
It also says: 072-86-1

man you're getting a lot of work done dude!

Hey do you still want the front A arms and stuff? I've been having trouble finding a box big enough to fit it all in. you know, the ones I have are actually rusted worse than the ones you already have. they were covered in caked mud and stuff and it really screwed 'em up, but with a drill, a wire wheel, and a couple hours work they'd be OK.

**RPOZ11** · 09-25-2005, 06:55 PM

Well, I was interested in them but I now have these off. I was looking at redoing a set to have ready for install but I see I have more work than I need currently!
I will let them pass; although I'd like to have them, I agree that costs and boxing may be taxing on all of this!

**RPOZ11** · 09-25-2005, 06:58 PM

Actually, I am leaning towards repainting the entire frame; Im this far!
I dont know how to paint but the frame would be a great test bed for my learning!
Anybody offer me any suggestions on repainting the frame myself?
Never painted before! I would desire that Imron Black as it would be tough for useage!
I do have local access to a chem strip facility so I could have it all stripped to a non-rustyed phosphate finish for paint...
Thoughts anyone???

On my Longhorn, is there any way to tell the rear axle gears from the outside besides spinning the wheels/pinion?
Was a Posi ever available for these?
I believe that this is an Eaton rear axle with the slide out ring/pinion center section alike a Ford 9"
