63 chevy c10 suspension tear down

[@brentcurry9698]

I started watching your videos a long time ago. Today I bought a solid 64 stepside C10, swb. Subscribed!!

[@Gibson63.]

Brent Curry Cool deal man thanks for watching

[@MrDeleon9999]

I'm learning so much from your channel and videos.. Thank you for all that you do sir... I also have a 63 long box Chevy C10... And your videos help me plan my progress on it.. Cheers from southern Oregon..

[@bradjohnson6919]

Great project, glad to see the boy working with you in the shop. I also have a 63 C10 and I can honestly say a disc brake conversion up front was the best mod on the truck. looking forward to see her complete.

[@Gibson63.]

Brad Johnson Yes the disc brakes conversion was the best thing I done on my red 63 works great, but I’m sticking with all four drums on this blue 63 someone can always upgrade later when I decide to sale it

[@ronster6656]

Excellent stuff, as always. Your vids have given me the “fever” to take on another ‘66 C10 project. You’ll be hearing from my wife.

[@lewisworkshop]

My favorite KZbin Restorer - By far! Love your videos.

[@davidphipps9029]

Been enjoying your videos so far so good. I like how you work on each system and upgrade it as you go. Basically it is still a driver when you assemble everything back together.

[@budsodalsky]

Good stuff! Thanks for not cussing !

[@chuckholton4666]

Nice to see you're saving this old beauty. You do nice work!

[@daveb5016]

It's a hell of a job rebuilding all of the front suspension, but when it's done, it's a thing of beauty.

[@UGAgeorgiaDAWG]

My favorite upload on KZbin. You should do this as a series for Velocity Channel. 👍👍

[@Gibson63.]

UGAgeorgiaDAWG LoL Thanks for watching man

[@ohhummer]

Great presentation as usual, More doing than talking, to the point. I can tell you are always thinking about the next step. Good job.

[@cgnieves1]

Love the videos, simple to the point.......here we go.

[@hermyherm365]

Always enjoy the vids brother ! Can’t wait for the next one

[@Gibson63.]

Hermen Lomas thanks

[@w.w.oklahoma6010]

Steve, looking good my man. This is the nasty part but is so satisfying when finished. The firewall looks to be in good condition and will clean up awesome. Only a good framer would have massive beams to sit the truck on. Nice touch! I''m enjoying the ride, so thanks for bringing us along!!!! "w.w "

[@Gibson63.]

Holleran Properties Thanks man I’ve used these beams on several things for both trucks they come in handy no doubt

[@wileygailey9553]

Good video Gibson. You make it look easy.

[@crossmember343]

Great work as always and thanks for the post.

[@sharonb.648]

Keeping it clean. Your wife must be happy. Good job guy's !!

[@TheRooster1122]

You do some awesome and some really detailed work! I would love to purchase that truck I’m dead serious man!!

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

This is the fast part, next comes the meticulous part. Keep up the great work!

Thanks again Steve good progress

[@budsodalsky]

Hey man, where could a guy like me get those same lower control arms? I like them cuz theyre like stock?

[@Gibson63.]

@@budsodalsky I purchased this kit from Classic Industries

[@kbtruck65blair64]

Great work. Those darn stubborn lower ball joints.

[@adriantomlin2902]

Lol!! Too bad he doesn't have the lower Bolt ons like my 61 Apache.

[@militarychevy711]

Fast work of that buddy! Can't wait to see it shiny.

[@Gibson63.]

Military Chevy alot of cleaning on this bad boy should pull the trigger this week

[@frente2zapatista]

Do you have a parts list for the front suspension? Thank you for the video

[@KRAMPUS1933]

Carpenters. They always work clean and efficently... Good job. ;)

[@alonsmile7182]

The Lord of Nonsense. How much did you spend on the parts

[@adriantomlin2902]

Not all of em dude!!! Guaranteed!!

[@perrywe1]

I see you have some help from your son occasionally. Nice to get kids involved. My son has almost grown out of it now, too much going on. lol. They are too young to appreciate taking an old worn out bucket of rust, grime and grease and making it NEW again. Enjoy his involvement while you can. I'm catching up in your vids. Thanks for the great instruction.

[@Gibson63.]

Thanks for watching

[@dougbeckwith768]

Thanks, I will be doing that in a few months, thanks for the heads up

[@MegaCountach]

Coming along nice! I installed the same KYB shocks on my 69 C/10 short fleet over the winter and didn't really notice a massive improvement with it.... I have not put many miles on it since though and I think I need to rebuild my front end as it needs it. Those shocks shd be good though KYB usually make a good product. Cheers, Doug

[@Gibson63.]

MegaCountach I’ve got the same shocks on my red 63 seems to be doing good thanks for watching

[@MegaCountach]

Hey thanks for the feedback! Cheers, Doug

[@dateatorjr9671]

Lots of hard work there. Bet you’re glad that’s done.

[@novafan6380]

Gonna keep the 250 in it? Just rebuilt my 194 for my '63 nova. Very reliable motors and cake to work on!!

[@Gibson63.]

Novafan 63 still debating on the engine we’ll see what happens

[@jadensjourneys144]

how important is that cross member behind the engine mount cross member? I bought an old truck and someone cut that and it is missing. Is it for the transmission? if so , im pretty screwed huh ? Ive been waiting on money to do anything but watching yur videos for knowledge thanks Mr Gibson !

[@kevinkbradshaw2239]

Great work. This is off subject but what size wheels did y'all use on your red truck. Keep up the good work, learned a lot watching your videos. Working on my Grandpa's truck

[@BobbyCRecordsInc]

Where did you purchase the lower control arms?

[@stevencoughran6115]

Did you use a 90,? Mine hitting my header please let me know,love all your videos and knowlegde

[@Roadglide911]

I had to laugh when I saw that sledge hammer because I started having flashbacks. I do commend you on your ability to control your language. If I had made a video it would have made Redd Foxx blush.

[@fine21140]

Awesome work. Very education . Would you mind sharing what camera you use to record the video with.

[@jojozz52]

Nice ! Keep up the Great work !

[@EstablishedLowriders]

Thanks for you knowledge and time!! What spindles are you using to be able to use rotors on front with factory control arms? I see guys using the 73+ front cross member but to me all I need is 6lug spindles, thanks again and great work!!

[@larryinnes4761]

Great job thanks for the video

[@Gibson63.]

Larry Innes Thanks

[@jjeff78108]

Where did you order your upper and lower control arms from

[@jadensjourneys144]

Man Im so glad I found this channel !!1 I just bought a 62 Chevy shortbed fleet side and I have a billion questions, lol dnt worry I wont ask too many :D But am I seeing things or were there 2 trucks ? a red one and a grey one right ?

[@Gibson63.]

Jadens Journeys Yes

[@williamlane9140]

Nice video man!! I'm doing the same suspension upgrades to my 66 f-250. I'm doing a power disc brake and power steering upgrade on mine. Are you upgrading or stock replacement?

[@Gibson63.]

William Lane not doing power steering or power brakes on this one keeping the front stock

[@seanwebb1485]

Great video as always, what size is your shop?

[@Gibson63.]

Sean Webb Shop is 16x20

[@pappabob29]

Dirty, nasty, work but satisfying when it's all done. Like the way you cleaned up in the process. The measure of a "real craftsman". Now the "fun" begins. Love that tedious, dirty, cleaning. Gotta be done, and correctly, if you want a good end result. Anxious to see how this one transforms. Hope you dress and keep the six. Maybe dual carbs and dual exhaust??

[@rrswitch48]

I appreciate these tutorials! Motor swap?

[@maxxer127]

Rules about messing around with front ends.The lower ball joint always leave the nut on a few threads.if that spring jumps out there is no place to go I seen a truck jump 3 inches coming off that jack an them back boarded.Its a true lesson to learn in safety.If your going to do it that way put a bar throw the spring at a angle then the sping dose not come out flying

[@JunkyardTailgate]

Some good father son time. It sort of looks like you may have done this before...😁.

[@deathcar]

Those ball joint separators can sure put out quite a (tuning fork) ping when you bang them around...for some reason those tones now making me squeamish when they never did before.

[@chazmoful]

You're the man!

[@Tobeythebeagle]

Do you edit your content or does someone do it for you? Either way, another excellent video in both content and quality. Thank you!

[@Gibson63.]

Tobeythebeagle Yes I do all the editing from imovie myself thanks

[@lifestylemodificatio]

" I'mma get to cleaning" 👍. Hey Gibbs, my 64 is ready for cleaning too but much worst than yours. What did u do/ how did u clean your front frame/suspension/control arms etc....thanks...

[@Gibson63.]

Degreaser scraper and elbow grease that’s what i used

[@lifestylemodificatio]

@@Gibson63. elbow grease is n understatement with mine. Like they say " u want something done right, do it yourself." Seems this cleaning is more work then working on my truck. Thx...👍
