1973 C20 454 Noisy Front Suspension!
I only hear it when I'm driving slow and turning in my parking lot, I've checked it all and nothing stands out that could be the issue. Any idea's?

It rattles, I've heard the exact same noise on other vehicles before but this is the first time for mine.

My first guess would be brake calipers. See if you can touch the brake when you hear the noise, if it stops you found it.

Check shock absorber (sp?) see if bushing are worn or i the shocks came loose. Also upper and lower arm bushings, take the wheel and see if you can move it.

The brake dust shields on the spindles can come loose over time and rattle when you move.To rule out most things get under it and lube all the joints and drive it see if its still there in a couple of days.

Re: 1973 C20 454 Noisy Front Suspension!
so this means suspension parts never rattle? anyway can i just ignore this for now because you said it is just the brake dust shields as long as i wont be dangerous i can just ignore it for a while. i just have lots of things to do and no time to lube the joints under my truck.
