I'm restoring a 65 C10 and have a few questions if anyone could give me some tips on.
First of all it was original 6 cyl. and I want to upgrade to big block and I was wondering what frame perches for motor mounts to use ???

Second question I want to upgrade to disc. brakes, I know they sell kits for this but was still wondering if any other spindles and rotors from a different year vehicle work on this swap ???

Last question, on power steering upgrade any simple upgrades ???

Thanks, Ronnie

Try to find or buy 68-72 BB mounts.I am not realy sure but the later ones might fit also.There are sveral holes in the cross member for diferant mounts to bolt on. The best way is to find a later truck 73-87 and change the hole crossmember power stering and all. I put a 75 under my 63 and works great only one hole to drill other then just bolts right in. You have to buy a kit for the power stering. Early Classic,Brothers, or CPP has it.
