The green truck frame?
The green truck frame?
I believe he is referring to the brown K series frame.
well would putting hangars from a 3/4 ton on the 1/2 ton wind up giving you a free lift?
Thanks for the research McCustomize, but I am still not sure that is the correct part.
Here are some pics showing the difference:
The hanger from the K20. You can see it's roughly 12in long and drops significantly past the frame. You can also see the rust hole.
The hanger from the Green Truck/C10. This is harder to see (having a body on the chassis doesn't help), but it is only 9in long and has a different bolt/rivet pattern. If I was smarter, I would have taken these from matching angles.
This is the only part I have found that specifically says k10/k20 and looks correct:

That is more than was expecting to pay, but at least it is available. I guess I will call some junk yards.
After Chilliwak recommended them, I looked into BDS 2.5in lift front springs and liked what I found. Although a little hard to find outside of an entire lift kit, they are bit cheaper than Tuff Country springs, have the military roll around the main leaf, and BDS reportedly has great customer service and warranty. I think I'll order those early next week.
I'm interested in the BDS front springs too. Can you tell me where only the front springs can be bought, instead of a whole kit? Thanks!
