can C4 corvette parts be used on a 79?
So i acquired a 1987 C4 corvette and i am planning on using as much as this car as possible on my truck. I know i can make the drivetrain work but how much of the suspension can be carried over?

With some work, a lot of it. Check out Porterbuilt's stuff. I know he's used some c4 stuff and all of that, and I'm sure he'll be a great resource about what can and can't even if he hasn't used it all...

Re: can C4 corvette parts be used on a 79?
scoti is a board member on here and he was working on a disc brake setup for our trucks that can be used with c4 brake components....its a nice kit and all you'll need is the hub/bracket that he did, and you can use the rest of the brake setup from the vette....do a search on this forum and it'll pop up.

I have one of these for my 67 because I was able to get the complete C4 suspension w/brakes for a competitve price vs. a set of ART tubular arms by themselves. Basically..... I was able to shave some weight from the front of the truck while adding it back to my wallet ![]()

Re: can C4 corvette parts be used on a 79?
I have been looking at the proterbuilt front and rear for quite some time. I really like the way its built. I am thinking i might just get the porterbuilt front and rear and sell off my other parts to fund that!
