Are these stock spindles? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

69 C10 CST, I'm planning disc brake conversion for the front, and possibly a drop. I'm not sure whether I have stock height spindles now, please see pic. I see a "GM 0970" stamped near the top (at least that's what I think the numbers are).

Please see pic of current ride height (sorry its small), currently running 255-60-15 tires. It seems like lower than stock ride height to me, but not sure whether it has drop spindles or different coils.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Keith,

Do you have thoughts on whether the truck is currently at a stock ride height, based on the 2nd pic?

Appreciate the help.

looks pretty close to stock to me,
Remember,... those are 43 year old springs.
Put a brand new set of stock height springs under it,... and I bet the front will come up 1"-2".

Do the disc conversion for sure.
