IIRC, Chevy introduced the G series van in the early '70's. They were full size vans. The 10 in the G10 stood for 1/2 ton. Prior to that, Chevy vans were mounted on Corvair chassis' and were more narrow than the G10's.
Hmmmm... Sounds like you might be doing one of those front end, bolt on swaps... I need to find some options like this also.
I put a front suspension from a 72 c-10 on my 53 3100. I am learning from my mistakes and someday I hope to have all the kinks worked out. I am considering pulling it out and trying to narrow it so I won't have the spacers at the frame. This wil bring the wheels in slightly, but I still need to get the wheels in tighter. I have 2 1/2" dropped spindles and shortened coils and the tires rub when turning corners. Bringing them in would help tremendously.
What mistakes? With shortened coils and dropped spindles, how low did the front end go from original? I'm assuming that you went with standard backspaced wheels? If you hadn't put on the dropped spindles, would this be a problem? Also, would it set slightly lower than stock with just the shortened coils? (I assume you cut a coil and a half out?) Did you also use the power steering unit? And finally~ pictures???
I first went with the dropped spindles and it wasn't low enough, so I then cut the coils. Now the tires rub. I have standard backspaced wheels, which I thought were off a mid 70's Chevy half ton pickup. That led to my question about the G10 van wheels. I have manual steering--my first thought was power steering is for whimps, but I now realize if I keep the manual steering I will soon have arms like Popeye. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures here I will. Thanks.
