Why Choose Scott’s Hotrods C10 Bolt-On IFS?

Scott’s C10 Bolt-On Independent Front Suspension kits are engineered vehicle-specific—never one-size-fits-all and never based on a Mustang II design.

Our IFS is a true independent suspension system, built with tubular upper and lower A-arms designed specifically for Chevy C10 trucks. Unlike kits that use a 3-piece crossmember with spring pockets or T-bolt adjusters that can loosen over time, Scott’s uses a precision TIG-welded design with coilovers or airbags and external shocks.

This means:

  • No weak points – 100% TIG-welded construction

  • Stronger hardware – 5/8” or larger Grade 8 hardware only

  • Better performance – dial in suspension precisely, never knocked out of alignment

  • Proven engineering – built to handle like a modern performance vehicle

From 1963-1966 C10s and 1967-1972 Chevy/GMC trucks to 1973-1987 Squarebody C10s, Scott’s Hotrods builds every Bolt-On IFS to deliver the strength, suspension geometry, adjustability and modern driving experience your classic truck deserves.

1963-1987 Chevy & GMC C10 Bolt-On IFS

Transform the handling, ride quality and stance of your classic Chevy or GMC truck with Scott’s Hotrods 1963-1987 C10 Bolt-On Independent Front Suspension (IFS). Engineered specifically for 1963-1966 C10, 1967-1972 C10 and 1973-1987 Squarebody Chevy & GMC trucks, our true bolt-on IFS replaces the outdated factory front suspension with modern rack & pinion steering, heavy-duty Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms, improved suspension geometry and your choice of Aldan American Coilovers or Scott’s SuperSlam Airbag suspension.

Unlike universal suspension conversions, every Scott’s C10 Bolt-On IFS is built-to-order for your specific truck, drivetrain, ride height and intended use. Choose a performance-oriented Coilover setup for responsive handling and everyday drivability, or go with our SuperSlam Airbag IFS for an ultra-low stance with up to 9 inches of total suspension travel. Whether you’re building a daily-driven C10, Pro Touring truck, high-horsepower restomod or frame-laying Squarebody, Scott’s gives you modern performance without replacing your entire factory chassis.

Best of all, Scott’s C10 IFS is a true bolt-on system designed to install onto the original frame, giving builders a dramatically improved front suspension without the extensive fabrication required by traditional weld-in conversions. From a mild cruiser to an all-out custom truck, your C10 can finally drive as good as it looks.

Already Have CPP C10 Spindles & Big Brakes?

This variation of Scott’s C10 Bolt-On IFS Kit is designed to be used with the ’73-’87 CPP C10 Spindle.  The only reason to choose this kit over Scott’s regular IFS kit is if you already have the CPP Big Brake Kit installed on your truck and you don’t want to get rid of this expensive Spindle & Brake kit.  We incorporate the ’73-’87 Square Body ball joints to accept the CPP spindle and include special tie rod ends to work correctly with the steering arm.  This special kit does not include Spindles or Brakes.

Modern C10 Performance Without Replacing Your Factory Frame

Your classic Chevy or GMC truck may have been built decades ago, but it doesn’t have to drive like it. Scott’s Hotrods 1963-1987 C10 Bolt-On IFS transforms the original front suspension with modern Independent Front Suspension geometry, rack & pinion steering, heavy-duty Tubular A-Arms and your choice of Coilovers or SuperSlam Airbags—all while retaining your original C10 frame. Whether you’re upgrading a 1963-1966 Chevy/GMC truck, 1967-1972 C10 or 1973-1987 Squarebody, every system is engineered specifically for the vehicle and the way you intend to drive it.

Like every Scott’s Hotrods IFS, our C10 Bolt-On system is NOT a Mustang II kit and is never treated as a one-size-fits-all suspension. Each crossmember is manufactured from heavy-duty 2″x4″x3/16″-wall box tubing, paired with 1-1/8″x.250-wall DOM Tubular A-Arms, precision components, built-in anti-dive and 5/8″ or larger Grade 8 hardware. Every Scott’s-manufactured component is engineered, fabricated, 100% TIG welded and quality checked in Knoxville, Tennessee before it leaves our facility.

From a comfortable weekend cruiser and daily-driven restomod to a high-horsepower Pro Touring C10 or frame-laying Squarebody, Scott’s Hotrods gives you the suspension foundation to make your classic truck handle, steer, ride and perform like a modern vehicle—without sacrificing the truck that made you want to build it in the first place.
