1968 C10 Build Episode 3 - Install Front Suspension

After cleaning up our project ’68 C10’s chassis and treating it to a fresh coat of paint and trick G-Comp rear suspension, we’re ready to move on to the front. There are lots of wild suspension setups for these trucks, but we’re keeping it simple with our Complete Front Suspension Kit for 1963-70 Chevy C10. This will get the truck down in the weeds without being so aggressive that we can’t actually drive it without knocking the exhaust off at the first speed bump. This kit also gets us front disc brakes and a five-lug bolt circle to match the upgraded rear. We also splurged on some tubular upper and lower control arms.
We also chose to upgrade to our C10 Power Steering Gear Box. Be sure to grab a Power Steering Pitman Arm as well. Though they look similar, the arm is different on a manual box. While we were upgrading the steering, we also chose to install a Chevy Pickup Front End Rebuild Kit to freshen up the tie rods and idler arm.

Every good build needs a good base to sit on...I'm getting close to final assembly on my chassis...can't wait to see mine done & ready for everything to start getting bolted on...awesome looking roller...way different from when it got snatched out of that snowbank...

Finished my '69 about 5 yrs ago. Hurricane Ian swamped it under 5 ft of water. My wife doesn't get why that's a good thing. I get to completely rebuild it, with better fit and finish, and a wicked motor instead of the tired old small block.

[@speedwaymotors]

Good luck and enjoy your build!

I decided to get tubular arms for my C10 after having the same thing. It took a torch and air hammer to take apart one control arm over 4 hours and we said nah. Ordered the tubular arms and had the truck back on the road the next weekend no regrets, other than maybe doing a coilover conversion form the get go.

Did you guys use a certain hardware kit when you refreshed all the bolts? If so do you thank you can let me know or share a link where I can buy the hardware kit?

[@mattwolfe4752]

Beautiful job so far but I've got a question. Why upgrade to coilovers in the back and not the front? Is there a reason for that decision?

[@AlfonsoHernandez-sf5mw]
