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.
