Re: Any advice for a novice stripping under-carriage & drive train?

Let me ask, does it make much difference to remove the front coil spring with or without the weight of the engine? Looking at Youtube, it doesn't seem to make a difference if using spring compression tools.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s of OEM identifications and part numbers, all written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
