1958 GMC Fleetside C4
 

I'm new to the forum. C-10 club member. I've driven my 57 for 30 years. Picked up 1958
GMC fleetside in 2007. Plan on installing 86 C4 front & rear suspension w/airride.

Re: 1958 GMC Fleetside C4
 

Looks like a good build. Have you done the c4 swap before? I an looking at building a burb for my wife and just trying to see what might be best. My 59 is running a camaro sub and 4 link, which I like very well but if there is something better.......

Re: 1958 GMC Fleetside C4
 

Thanks Buggy5872
My first C4 swap. Running camaro clip & reworked leaf springs on my 57 Chevy Stepside handles good. My bros Albert,Rich,& Mario installed C4 on 49 Caddy w shockwaves & 56 GMC w coilovers both handle like slot cars! Found a C4 donor car for half the price of a new IFS. Check out newmancarcreations.com/trucks.

Re: 1958 GMC Fleetside C4
 

That's a good reference site but the sticker shock is a bit much. I'll follow your thread and see the results. I am in no hurry since I have my cabover and NAPCO to finish first. C4's are cheap around me.

Re: 1958 GMC Fleetside C4
 

good looking truck, like the gmc grills
looks like it wants to eat something :D

Re: 1958 GMC Fleetside C4
 

Can't wait to see this one done. Would like to see how you do the front bags. I reused the cradle and the stock vette spring is too soft. Mine is too low and hits with large dips in the road. The back was too high but longer bolts and a spring shave and it sits just right. Bags and coil overs are expensive. I've got a stiffer (and adjustable) VB&P spring ordered to see if I can fix the front but it's been 2 weeks so not real happy there.

Your other truck is beautiful... but I have to admit I like the GMC pickups better because you never ever see them on the road or at shows!
