Great video and Revenge of the Nerds style music!!!

[@matt_1969ChevyC1o]

Great quality kit, and glad to see you guys making such thorough videos about them. Cheers and lets keep more of these coming in 2020.

[@CJClassicTrucks]

Thank you matt. happy you enjoyed the video.

[@jameshatfield7785]

got one on my 68 love it

[@ernestotapia9192]

Those are Ridler 645 wheels on the truck. Hope this helps.

[@yeyodeloera9798]

If I already have a c notch on my truck and wanting to install this kit will I have to buy and weld some kind of bracket??

[@bobh3786]

Installed this kit on my 72 C10. Great kit, great video. Notice he tells you to disconnect the e-brake cables but never reconnects them, that's because the kit doesn't come with the e-brake brackets. QA1 should disclose that up front.

[@bobhalstead1879]

You were measureing the rear axle to fender wheel opening.wheels should be centered off front axle centerline for handleing to avoid rear axle thrust left or right.

[@jerryhope9626]

Love the video but take it easy on the anti seize!!!!

[@CJClassicTrucks]

lol you can never have enough anti seize

[@gerhelwinters1967]

On my 68 I run Leef Springs. It handel's hauling loads better. like towing A car trailer for the racecar. My friends would say thay couldn't keep up with me on the way home after the races. And they were empty! I switched once and just didn't like it, It just felt to soft.

[@elboss2056]

Does it have to be cnotched? I want the stock height

[@general23cmp]

Is it normal to try to get the pinion down? I’m used to it needing to point up since the transmission points down.

[@grumpy1962R]

Is the kit shortbox/longbox compatible?

[@jerrymelnychuk1668]

Nice job ! Will this kit work on a 67-72 leaf spring suspension ?

[@CJClassicTrucks]

jerry it can work but you have to cut all your old brackets off, add a new shock crossmember, panhard bar crossmember . rusty wrench on youtube has a great how to video to convert from leaf to coil spring kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWLXqZKrjd1pmNk

[@barrioraza3]

From the video it look like it comes with a new panhard bar/shock mounting location included in the c notch. Also the trailing arm bracket is included, almost looks like you could just cut off leaf spring brackets and install this kit.

[@Ryan-mg7pd]

In my paper instructions it says support the frame with jack stands when removing the spring. What do I actually do? Axle jack stands or frame?

[@CJClassicTrucks]

support the vehicle by the frame to remove the suspension

[@josegura7888]

is the install single or double adjustable in the video and what spring rate did you use i have a longbed as well ?!?

[@CJClassicTrucks]

we installed the single adjustable and we installed the 200lb springs.

[@jerryheath793]

What size are the rims and tires?

[@Dvan-wy4fl]

Will this work on a c20

[@oscarmagana1880]

Nice set up but how much that will cost?

[@CJClassicTrucks]

It's $2000 but its totally worth the price. You get so much out of the suspension it's easy to install, very easy to adjust to what you want, and makes the truck perform to exactly what you need. www.cjponyparts.com/qa1-rear-suspension-system-single-adjustable-chevrolet-c10-1963-1972/p/R110-V/

[@petejoseph8257]

That’s a lot of moving parts with that system, Jeez.

[@markw3027]

What size wheels and tires? What offset on the wheels? Thanks

[@CJClassicTrucks]

here is a video on the wheels kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3u0epyfap2omZI

[@petejoseph8257]

That guy’s beard got longer as the as the vid went on. 60 hrs later, it was done.

[@CJClassicTrucks]

it does take some time to make these videos you should see the difference when I'm working on my own vehicle.

[@markjohnson9495]

Lost me as soon as you cut the frame.

[@CJClassicTrucks]

The cut is truly not that bad
