For your Classic C10 Truck, or any classic vehicle, safety should always be a top priority. Whether you're cruising down the highway or taking on tough terrain, having the right safety upgrades can make all the difference. Here are four must-have safety upgrades for your classic Chevy C10 truck:

1. Steering Column

Many builders will opt for an inexpensive, Chinese made steering column. While it might be shiny and new, it may not be as safe as you'd like.

The steering column is a critical component of your truck's steering system. Upgrading to a modern, American made steering column can improve your driving experience and make steering more responsive.

Ididit manufactures these columns in the USA and includes a lifetime warranty with them. While the price tag can be steep, these retro-fit steering columns are designed specifically for your C10 truck model to ensure a perfect fit.

2. Disc Brakes

Disc brakes offer superior stopping power compared to traditional drum brakes. Upgrading to disc brakes can improve your truck's braking performance, reduce stopping distances, and enhance overall safety.

Make sure to choose a disc brake kit that is compatible with your C10 truck for a seamless installation. We offer many options for all your stopping needs. Be sure to call our knowledgeable sales team with any questions to be sure you're ordering exactly what you need!

3. Bed Mount Gas Tank

Installing a bed mount gas tank makes your C10 truck safer by moving the fuel away from the cab. This reduces the risk of accidents and the smell of gas. This helps lower the chance of fire in the event of a rear-end crash and is a good choice for both long and short bed pickup trucks.

We provide high-quality, durable gas tanks that fit your C10 truck model for optimal safety. Our tech support team can walk you through the install and make sure you get all the parts needed for this install.

4. LED Lights

LED lights are not only more energy-efficient and long-lasting than traditional halogen lights, but they also provide better visibility on the road. Upgrading your C10 truck with LED headlights, taillights, and turn signals can enhance safety by making your truck more visible to other drivers, especially in low-light conditions. This is a popular upgrade for 1970 Chevy C10 and later trucks. Be sure to also install an LED Flasher when replacing multiple LED lights on your classic vehicle.

By investing in these four essential safety upgrades for your C10 truck, you can enjoy a safer and more secure driving experience. Remember, safety always comes first when it comes to your beloved C10 truck.
