The ‘69 C10 has drums front and back. This obviously won’t work, so new drop spindles will be arriving shortly for it, and we’ve got discs and callipers from a later model C10 for the truck.
With having the Lumina available, we will be investigating perhaps using it’s callipers and discs for the C10.
The C10 is also a 6 Stud 127 pcd, and we’ve decided to change this out for a 5 stud setup which just helps us later on with wheel choices.
We purchased a 5 stud diff with a more suitable diff ratio for cruising. This will obviously need to be refurbished, and we may opt to go with a limited slip unit.
The rest of the suspension was removed.
Here you can see some more creative fixes on the control arms.
The chassis and suspension components have been sent off for sandblasting so that we can assess everything once it’s back and also work with clean parts.
Thanks for watching :-)
