Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration
Got a good long weekend of work done. Rear brakes, differential resealed, new leaf springs and shocks installed, blasted and painted control arms and coils, new ball joints, upper and lower cross shafts, shocks, etc. Then only issue was the lower ball joint boots would NOT fit on the ball joints, ended up opening 50 boxes of other ball joints to find a boot that would fit correctly. Also used the loader tractor bucket to apply down pressure on the frame with a jack under the lower control arm to install the coils, worked great.
