What to keep and what to scrap
Recently I found a fairly priced rolling chassis from a 71 c10 longbed that had the donor rear diff I wanted for my 66 5 lug conversion. I was debating endlessly if I should just save some cash and lower my truck switching to front disk and keep my 6 lug wheels and tires. It was entirely possible but I thought to heck with it, I'm switching to 5 lug and I bought the chassis. I just got done tearing it apart and I'm keeping the rear end and power steering box for a future upgrade but some of the parts I dont know if theres a market for them or not. The trailing arms will be for sale but the entire front suspension and the frame itself are the pieces in question. All the control arms are in really good shape as are the front disk spindles. The calipers are questionable as well as the front coils. The frame is for the most part in fantastic shape except the section that goes over the rear end. Its extremely pitted on the inside. I'd hate to scrap anything that someone would be looking for though. If it turns out a longbed frame is not worth keeping I'll put it on marketplace for best offer. Either way I'll be upgrading my subscription here so I can post in the classified section

Re: What to keep and what to scrap
What are you using for the front to convert? You can take the later front and almost bolt it onto the earlier frame.
Once you have what you want post a pic and part the rest. |

Re: What to keep and what to scrap
I plan on lowering my truck so these stock spindles need a new home. When I take off my front drums and spindles I doubt anyone Is looking for those parts.
