It's been a long road to completion. Had to move the truck out of multiple shop spaces. It is now at its final location and will be assembled here.

Procar did not provide a viable linkage to actuate the seats so I made a custom rod out of heim joints and stainless steel full thread rods. Everything is cut to fit.

They say if it's not one thing in a restoration something else gets in the way.

Classic industries was told that they had sold the incorrect lower ball joints for this 73 C10.

I ordered a second set of drop spindles which still didn't fit the lower ball joints.

Finally I ordered factory spindles made by CPP these didn't even fit the ball joints so called Performance Online who manufactured the kit.

After driving out to POL the tech there told me I was right, the wrong lower ball joint had been included in the universal kit.

Now the suspension is assembled and installed.
