Front suspension????

I want to bring my 1965 chevy c10 truck back to stock height. Lowered is cool but not good when I want to hunt on those bumpy roads. So basically I am thinkin my front suspension is not original. Here is a picture of it maybe yall can figure what year it came from. MY guess is 73-87? Dont know if the coils are cut or not. I heard I have drop spindles but not sure.

Re: Front suspension????

What the heck is going on with your tie rod?
That must bumpsteer like crazy.
Your tie rod is installed backwards.

Fix that and get rid of the rubber bumpstop and I bet it drives 100% better!

You definitely have drop spindles,... but I bet the tie rod end of the spindle has been drilled or worn out by the backwards installed tie rod.

Re: Front suspension????

Ok I didnt realize that they were incorrect. I really just want to pull those spindles and put stock. I am over the lowered look. Would you have any clue on what year/make set up I have?
