First and second-generation C10 trucks are well known for their use of a drop center frame with trailing arm rear suspension. The design was intended to make the trucks drive more like a car and less “truck-like.” Up to this point, pickup trucks were always considered fleet vehicles and work trucks, not family transport. The C/K series set about to change that mentality.

The trailing arm suspension is time-proven, durable, and suitable for higher-performance applications. After all, NASCAR has used the trailing arm suspension for decades. Yet, the trailing arms do wear over time. Metal fatigues and bushings wear. After a while, the trucks rearend starts to wallow around the road to each destination.

First and second-gen C10 owners, Speedway Motors has your rear covered with Its new G-Comp truck arms. According to Speedway Motors’ Content Marketing Manager, Kelsey Bugjo, “It’s pretty easy to upgrade 1960-1972 C10 trucks with two-wheel-drive into a performance suspension with this simple kit.”
