I normally don't follow 1st gen c10 mods/rebuilds but your vids are well done and no-nonsense! keep up the great work from an '86 SWB c10 and '90 454SS owner!
Looks super awesome! This suspension is going to be stiff AF !! I will be staying tuned ... I can’t wait to see the rest of the truck on the frame ...
You are doing a great job !! I like your attention to detail.
Nice work! Watched all the parts of the restore. Looks great. Can’t wait to do it to mine.
Professionally produced video, good information
truck is coming along great!! you’ll have a sweet ride when you’re done 👍👍
It’s getting there!

Great video of your work 👍 thanks for sharing..im doing about the same in my 68 C10 this is good help for me thanks...
Absolutely marvelous
Thanks for your videos...Good music also!
Found your channel recently doing some upgrades on a Chevy C 10 great channel bro you do great work definitely a new subscriber!!💯👍
Great Job!
Nice Bro keep it going
I own a 68 C10 and my truck is leaning towards the driver side a little. Looks un level. I also have a leaking steering box. The mechanic shops here are full till the beginning of the year. I was afraid of doing the repairs on my own because I have none of the big tools to do it myself. You made it look easy.
Looking good man! you are doing it right, and your video production is tight, great inspiration for my 68 stepper.
Thanks man
Paul, explain your spindle offset and spring length for your finished ride height.
Hey truck looks good and finally someone with a videos done right! There very helpful. I have a 63 c10 in the garage and I’m about to get started on. Anyway you can send me the links to everything in this video?

nice video whats the part number for the upper control arms and where i can buy it?
Do you have a part number for the adjustable tie rod sleeves? I couldn’t find them in the description. Thank you!
si i gotta ask why just top arms and not bottom budget going bagged , etc.. curious
did you have caster issues when you paired the cpp upper control arm with the stock bottom control arm? apparently the upper cpp control arms are make shorter and the lower cpp arms are made longer to compensate. by pairing the cpp upper with the stock lower, would you have unwanted postive caster?
I couldn’t tell but did you use the same bolts to put in the new control arms or did you order new? I’m trying to figure out which ones they are in the lmc catalog
34 lb. power steering gear, gets away and drops to the shop floor. “Don’t do that”.
34 lb. power steering gear, gets away and drop on foot. “J*~?!+s, Honey, hospital!
Glad you had chosen number 1.
Great video, love the meticulous attention to detail & quality of your work. Nice work! Did you treat the springs or pockets with anything to avoid squeaking in the future?
Hey thanks. Didn’t do anything for squeaking. It never crossed my mind to be honest. She gonna be chirpin! Haha
paulk_c10 she looks great either way. I have the chirping issue but the next time mine is apart I’ll be sure to safeguard against it. Keep those videos coming!
I don’t think I’m going to hear any suspension noise over the exhaust haha
@@paulkc10 LOL, great point and note to self!
If ya got torsion bars like my old 61 Apache. No squeaky suspension there!
Great video.. I am curious if you had any issues with the oem power steering hoses to the new quick ratio gear box? I'm so close to pulling the trigger on it.
They’re different size fittings so you can’t use the stock lines.
paulk_c10 okay, thanks for the info 🤘
The lines you need are in the q&a section on the summit racing listing
Hi there how much to do you spend on that suspension?
Awesome video! Have you had any issues with the swaybar after installation? I watched a video that said the weight needed to be on the wheels when it's lined up and put in. Thanks
No issues what so ever.
the parts powder-coated
or lacquered ??
Nice Video !!!
come from Germany, Rebuild my Chevy C30
He used Eastwood chassis paint I believe on the bigger chassis parts.
Would this be the same process for a 1978 K5 Blazer ? I’m looking to re-do the front suspension and steering as well. Any info would be appreciated, enjoy watching your videos. Thanks!
It’ll be very similar but the 4wd will make some parts different
Mine is a 2WD and is already dropped. Just need to fix the same components you did to make it better. I’m also replacing the coil sprigs and shocks. One more question, I’m buying parts from LMC Truck and Brothers, are there better places out there $$$ wise?
Then it’ll be very similar. Brothers, LMC, etc is all the same stuff just with different stickers on it
Im attempting to do same.
Bought a new lower control arm, but the ball joint doesn't fit in the lower spindle hole.
The new ball joint you listed fits in my spindle, but my shop said it doesn't fit on the lower control arm.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Have you tried 15" stock wheels with the CPP drop spindles? Any issue with balljoint hitting the wheel?
Never had them on with this set up
Im curious about your pitman arm issue, i am having the same issue with a 1969 C10 I am converting to power steering ( hitting crossmember ) what part number did you end up using to have the shorter one?
I put a link on the description
Were did you get the bracket for the upper shock mount?
I think Summit Racing. It’s been sitting in a box for awhile
Cool build!!! Please change those CPP brake pads you’ll thank me latter.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this. Definitely be looking for an upgrade. Any recommendations?
paulk_c10 I will go to the shop where I got them on Monday to get the part number. Can’t remember off hand.
Perfect, thank you
@@paulkc10 Surprised you dont alread have the Wilwood D52 dual piston calipers, they come with pads for just $300 on Amazon. Bolt right up, look & perform great.
Nice work! I am getting ready to do the exact same project. Did you use all CPP products? I was getting ready to order a bunch of stuff but have recently heard a few horror stories about their business practices and products. This has put my project on hold. What is your opinion? Thanks!
I used CPP upper control arms and steering gearbox. I haven’t had any problem. I ordered from Summit, not through them. Came 2 days later and were in perfect condition. I ordered my gas tank through them directly and took 2.5 months.
paulk_c10 thanks for the information!
Same size tires and wheels all around or something different in the back?
Same size
Regarding the Quick ratio steering gear, Is that a power steering conversion? Dont you need a adapter bracket?
It was power steering originally
How did you get the rubber stops back on the lower control arms ?
WD-40 and a flat head screwdriver
Hi can you give me the link to where to by all front suspension please. Thank you
They’re all in the description
How did you compress the springs with no weight on the frame?
Didn’t give me any trouble. There’s plenty of resistance with the frame even without any weight on it.
What is the part # for the cpp upper arms? I have a 70 gmc with cpp 2.5 drop spindles an disc brakes. Thank you!!!

Awesome thanks for replying so fast really enjoying your vids! Thanks again
Absolutely!
Did you replace the upped control arms to fix the caster issue?
Caster and camber
You have drop spindles and drop springs? Dayum..I think it may be on the floor after the engine is in.. lol
She’s low. No doubt haha trucks with similar combos leave the front bumper around 6” off the ground
Where did you get your steering box
Summit racing
I am having the same problem you encountered in part three with the idler arm. The one you referred to in the comments doesn’t have the mounting arm? What am I missing? Gary - Nebraska
The first one I bought was the completely wrong part. It was for another vehicle.
Curious! Why tubular uppers, but no lowers. I know the lowers cost quite a bit more. Just wondered your reasoning!
Tubular uppers account for the camber change when lowering the truck. Lowers have the same dimensions as stock. I was on a budget so only did the uppers
Why did you go with new tube upper a arm but kept stock lower?
Cost mostly. Also, Uppers correct camber/alignment issues when lowering.
@@paulkc10 gotcha.
Just started watching your channel. Great attention to details.
I just startes my very 1st build on a 65 stepside. Will be taking notes and using some same parts your using also used same ideal for cab lift. But have to come up with different for bed. I have no inside rails and fenders bulge out to left with straps. Keep up the awesome work
Run eye bolts thru the mounting holes and a couple straps or chains
Who are you getting your parts from
Amazon, CPP, LMC, Brothers, Summit, Speedway Motors. Depends who has deals going on when I’m ready to order something.
Where did you get that bearing greasing tool?
amzn.to/2Su9RiE
Music artist?
I couldn’t tell but did you use the same bolts to put in the new control arms or did you order new? I’m trying to figure out which ones they are in the lmc catalog

@Rocky P >If your reference is about the lower control arm shaft, the factory OEM were 7/16” U-bolt. The LMC catalog offers the OEM but recommend upgrading to the 1/2” as found on the C20 and heavier. You will have to drill out the frame holes and perhaps the saddles. ASE Master Retired

I used the same one but cleaned them up
Thanks . Great job on your truck
