GSI Machine and Fab Delivers a Bolt-in Modern Air Ride Front Suspension for ’63 – ’72 C10s GSI Machine and Fab
What happens when you have a bunch of truck fans and hot rodders in general that can design, do fab work and know all about CNC machining and manufacturing? Good things. Case in point is GSI Machine and Fabrication‘s Air Ride Suspension front end for ’63 – ’72 C10 trucks.
GSI’s new Air Ride Front Crossmember Kit is designed to bolt in place of the worn out and wobbly old suspension of your Chevy truck while delivering modern performance and ride quality with the ability to air-down and sit LOW. That’s right, a complete bolt-in! The custom crossmember provides a narrowed track width to handle modern wheel sizes while still being able to drive and turn low. While they were at it, the design team also moved the wheel position 1-inch forward to center the wheels in the fender opening.
GSI also designed unique tie rod adapters so no modification to the spindle are required, and while they were at it, added a power rack and pinion to give your truck quick, control power steering. . Upgraded steering to power rack and pinion. Everything has been carefully planned, designed and proven to obtain the best driveability and easiest installation possible. To ease your braking choices, the system was designed around common ’71/’72 C10 spindles to be compatible with several brake kits.
