Corvette suspension on 86 C10?
« on: April 07, 2016, 04:02:12 PM »
Hello<
This is my first post, I found this forum while doing research on a new project I want to start. I have a 1986 single cab short wheelbase c10. I also have a wrecked 2002 corvette. I am looking for information on possibly putting the corvette front and rear suspension on the truck. I would like to swap over the entire drivetrain if possible. I found chef of the 40's, they have some sort of cradle that bolts to the truck frame and uses C4 corvette suspension. My vet is a C5. I have found lots of corvette motor swaps in C10's but not to much suspension stuff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

A buddy just put 91 Corvette front and rear suspension and drivetrain in his 65 Chevy 1/2 T stepside. Looks great but be prepared for a ton of measuring, cutting, fabricating and welding. IMHO it's not worth all the trouble.....
