Have not been on here for a while but I finally got the 63 C-10 panel truck on the road . It pulls to the right slightly on some roads so I think it will make a visit to the local tire shop to see if the alignment is a problem.The mechanic that does them is as old as I am so he has been around a few times.Is there anything i should mention to him or are these front ends simple enough that he wont need any advice ? This truck has been in a couple bumps judging by the front and rear fenders if that makes any difference. Thanks Murray | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,262 | A '63 is a new enough desing that the mechanic shouldn't have any issues at all with the alignment.
Good luck and be sure to let us know how things turn out. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Sounds like a road crown pull. Your mechanic should be able to compensate for that, but you don't want to go too far, as it will cause a pull to the left on roads that aren't crowned as much or crowned the other direction (fast lane on the highway for example).
As far as alignments go, the basic suspension layout is the same all the way up to '87 on light trucks, '91 on Suburban and 1 ton chassis cab 2wds, and '95 on the G series vans.

Two different roads made more of a change to the amount of pull now that I think about it . Thanks | | |
