Astro suspension

Hello folks

I cam across an ad for someone selling some nice aftermarket suspension bits from a 2wd Astro van and it got me wondering if the Astro shared any suspension parts with either the 73-87 or 88-98 trucks?

Re: Astro suspension

For the most part they are S10 suspension. But the AWD ones use some stuff i think is S10...but some van only type parts. The weird thing is the AWD vans have 5x5 lug pattern.

Which gives me some dumb ideas using the AWD front frame section. But the front diffs are weak and odd ball.
