When converting to disk brakes, is a wheel change a must?

I am looking at all the different choices for converting the manual brakes on my '69 C10 to power disc / drum. Any thoughts on who sells the best complete kit? Also, I see that some places have rear disc conversions and others do not. Are rear disc brakes necessary? Any thoughts or...

Go to the 67 - 72 Photo Gallery and check out the pics of ONEWAYMARK's '68 C-10. He has a pretty nice looking center console. Might be some ideas there for you. I'm trying to figure mine out as well.:confused:

Are there any advantages or disadvantages to converting from rear coil springs to coil over shocks?

You can try checking www.americanclassic.com They have a good VIN Decoder, however, I don't believe the VIN will give you all those details.

Does anyone know the weight of a '69 C-10 short wheel base step side with a V8? Or, where I may look to find this information - aside from taking to a set of scales.

THIS WAS COPIED FROM MORTEC.COM "Some of the Gen.1 smallblock motors used blocks with an additional 1% tin and an additional 2% nickel added to the cast iron alloy. These desirable blocks can be identified by looking at the block face under the timing chain cover for "010" AND "020". These...

On the lower half of the block on my 350 is "010". Can somebody tell me what this means. I'm new to the game, so this may be an obvious answer to some. It seems as if every number that is stamped or cast into the block has some significance, but I don't think I've heard any reference to this...

I am weighing my options as far as building up my existing 350 or dropping in a new crate motor. Anyway, my question is if I end up with 400+ hp, are there any "weak" areas I need to be concerned with (rear end, drive shaft, suspension, etc.)?

I am considering replacing my original gauge cluster in my '69 C-10 with a custom panel and all new aftermarket gauges. It seems like it would be as easy as scraping my existing gauges, bezel, printed circuit board, and all the kind of stuff, installing the new gauges and wiring them up. I'm...

Where can I locate any markings on the rear differential to determine some info? I have a '69 C10 with a 12 bolt rear.

Thanks for the thoughts - I may check into going the spindle route.

I am the proud new owner of a '69 C-10 Stepside. With this, I'm sure there will be many questions. The first is about the coil springs. The truck had been lowered before I purchased it. Unfortunately this was done by cutting the coil springs - front & rear. I have seen many places to buy...
