I am getting a complete C10 front end, and diff next week. It was part of the parts I sold with the truck when I sold it 11 years ago, and the bloke wants to have a cleanout, so am doing a trip to get it all, and some other bits.
Just thinking that I may end up fitting the C10 running gear into my truck instead of the heavier C20 gear. Any thoughts??
Wont really know until I get all the bits home, and have a good look at them.
Would love to fit an IRS out of a Commodore ute(Aussie El Camino), but big job.
Hey Ian, I know this has been a year since your last post, but what a great job you did! Like a previous guy said, you Aussie's get all the cool stuff, not to mention RHD!
I hope you're still enjoying it!
