Yeah, I wish I would have. At the time I bought it I was a bit new to the C10 / PB game. 2013/14. I've had the front stuff a long time. Since then I've bought all of my rear parts and Accuair kit through PB. After getting all my parts I started my install. I have the motor out, and all of the front parts installed. Now I'm trying to get my steering shaft stuff going. Also, waiting on the Bonspeed wheels I ordered from Bonspeed 9 months ago. Not happy about that at all.

I didn’t know bonspeed was still making wheels. Which level kit did you go with? The extreme is straight forward with the steering linkage.

I got the extreme. Ordered is several years ago when I had a truck. Then 2 years ago I ordered my Accuair kit from PB. Then sold the 85 truck because I inherited a 84 suburban from a family member who passed. Last year I ordered my PB rear extreme kit to fit the burb. Nate put together parts from a 67-72 and squarebody for it.

My goal it to install the rear once I get the front completed. Can't get my rear axle all finalized, pinion angles and what not till I get my wheels. Whenever that may be.
