props on your parts, they look to be built and designed very well, i personally enjoy fabbing my own parts rather than bolting parts on, but some people just dont have the time/tools/knowlage,ect.. looks great

Nice truck, I like self fab parts to but when the time way outways the cost I'll buy it, I had my own fab shop for a couple years sometimes its better to buy expecially in the situation of a conversion to c4 parts, the time in measuring, and there tools are far superior to anything someones going to have in there garage

I can't remember the backsapacing off the top of my head, I think it is 4.75" or 5.25" on a 20x8.

Porter, does a grand sound like a good deal for a complete 02 c5 front suspension with 11k on it minus the cradle?

If you look on evilbay you will find that isn't a bad deal. Maybe not the greatest deal but not the worst either. For example. Each control arm and spindel is about $100 each so that is roughly $600 right there. Then if you add the brakes (if the are in decent condition which would be around 300-400 for new) rack and pinion which i believe is around $300 for a referbished one.

So what are you doing with C5 front suspension if you do buy it? Anyways hope i helped.

Yes, I have the connections to build my own or wait till Porter gets the c5 DM done.

PBFAB.COM · 11-10-2007, 09:09 PM

As mentioned, that sounds like a fair price. Not the best "deal"nor the worst!

**N2TRUX** · 11-11-2007, 10:51 AM

Where's it at? Can you go pick it up, or do you have to have it shipped? Shipping needs to be factored in the total cost since it has gone up a LOT lately.

PBFAB.COM · 11-11-2007, 01:44 PM

Parts look to be in good shape. Is it a business that will guarantee the quality of the parts? I have had several (3-4) complete fronts shipped that had bent or damaged components once arriving. It was great to have a reputable place that "made it right". The engine cradle can be sold to get some of the cost back.

I agree with the engine cradle. I paid about $400 for the engine cradle. Yes i know that was a little high but i was wanting to start my project. The funniest part about that is at the time the cheapest ones were around $400 on ebay but right after i bought it a bunch came on for $100-200. Go figure.
