Another good day today! I got the front suspension installed in the '64, did some more steam-cleaning and yanked the 12-bolt out of the Suburban.
Here's the steam-cleaned front suspension ready to go into the '64.
And here it is installed. It's definitely got a nose-up stance because there's no engine installed, and the suspension has big blocks springs in it. We'll fix that in the next few weeks. The swap went really well. The suspension is really heavy, and it can be a challenge to get it placed on the floor jack evenly. Once we got it in position, everything lined up. I had to slot one hole on each side and had to drill a new hole on each side as well. It went really quick. I still have to get a steering box bracket from Captain Fab and remove the sway bar frame mounts off of the Suburban chassis. This week, I am going to buy a set of spring perches and hopefully, they'll show up by next Saturday. I'll clean the shock mounts and old perches off of the 12-bolt, and if everything continues to plan, I'll get the rear end installed in the '64.
