Thanks for the help. I'm working on my disc brake swap right now,then the new engine, just getting all the details straight for now.

Having rear trailing arms/coil springs, will any '73 and up 5 on 5.5 truck rear swap right into my stock rear's place? I have a friend that has the front set up out of a '72,so I'm good there. I will just need to locate a rear end.

The spindles, rotors, calipers and all will swap over? How about the rear axles? I want 5 lug all the way around. Thanks in advance for the help!

Blew front tire yesterday, drum brakes locked up on me and pulled me into the curb! :( Are there any other yrs that will swap? 73-87??? I found a '71 with front disc so may be going that route.

Will '73- '87 front disc setups work on a '68 C-10? Spindles, calipers etc...??

If you have it bolted to another mount, like the one right behind the engine, you should be fine.

You guys also sell the"kit" right,with the straps and sender,neck etc.??

It kinda sounds like the vaccum advance on the distributor is bad. Does it do it at all at low speed acceleration?

The '71 C10 I had sported front disc/rear drum. It stopped fine and I never personally saw a reason to go 4 wheel disc, ease of brake repair alone would make me lean to the rear swap as well though. I HATE DRUM!

A good all around tranny and easy to find and cheap- TH350 (Turbo 350) It is all I have ever ran behind a small block. I now run an external cooler instead of running the lines to the radiator, this makes the tranny run cooler, espically when pulling a load like I often do. I bought a nice...

Are your seats aftermarket or take-outs from a late model?? I was going to put buckets in mine eventually and build a nice furniture quality wood console with cup holders,cd storage etc. You might check JC Whhitney, they normally have a little bit of everything in there. A carpet coverd console...

Measure the length of the tranny's. If they are the same, your good. If not all you have to do is take a good measurement from your yoke (on the rear end) to the tail shaft on the turbo 350 transmission you mentioned to a driveshaft shop and they will do the rest. Normally about $40 to have one...

The two blocks them self are pretty much the same besides displacement. The only reason you would even have to change out the drive shaft or anything else behind the motor is if you swap to a different transmission. All of your accessories will bolt right up depending on what year model the 350...
