Re: "The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla" 1987 Chevy 2WD SWB

... and:

- painted my power steering box the same way most of you on the board seem to paint yours ---- peer pressure got to me!

AND, I bought a set of used Foose rims. They are 22's and the tires are pretty good shape still, but may need to replace two of them.

They need a real good clean and polish, and I'm planning to get to them as soon as I can. I don't know if I will use them on this truck....If I do I'll definitely have to upgrade to a big brake kit and that's big $$$ out of the budget.

But what is really testing my patience is trying to get these Energy bushings back into the control arms.

I have a press, vice, sledge hammer, and nothing seems to be moving the bushings into the upper control arms.

I called a shop I dealth with in the past, they said they might be able to do them for me Friday, but I'll give it another go tomorrow just to see.

Any helpful hints on this?
