where to get rear suspesion parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rizick · 05-30-2008, 03:16 AM

my 66 chevy c-10 is need of the rear control arms and probably the springs and related parts as well. I just bought a 2 1/2" drop spindle & disc kit from matt's classic bowties for the front. I was planing to go with drums on the rear and was looking things over and decided the rust through spots on the control arms needed attention, and maybe deal with the rear drop at the same time but I am not sure of what all I need to do and buy. any help would be appreciated.

Rizik, if they are rusted out I woould definitely replace them. If I am not mistaken, the rear control arms are the same from 63-72. Guys have used ones for sale off and on in the parts section of the board. Shipping would be the largest problem you would run into there. If you were closer, I have an extra set I could hook you up with.

joe231 · 05-30-2008, 06:27 AM

and.....from what i hear, they are the same for long and short wheelbase. shouldn't be too hard to find a good used set

Tubular for $599... http://www.truckandcarshop.com/trucks60_72/t60_111.html I dont know how good they are though, but truckandcarshop usually has decent stuff. At least everything I have even gotten from them has been good.. And if you look down at the rest of the page they even have drop springs..
