Got some more parts in today for the engine. It's gonna be purdy when it's done
Worked on tearing down the rest of the components off the engine to prep for paint. Gotta read up on the best ways to prep it since I'm putting BC/CC on it.
Worked on tearing apart the front suspension until I got a call and had to run to the house to meet a guy to sell some parts. It's good and bad...didn't get what I wanted to done, but traded for a van tilt and still ended up with 150 cash to go towards the truck. I'll be needing it too with all the front end stuff I need to replace. Idler arm has way too much play, Tie rods are of course shot, the adjustment sleeves look bag, U-bolts look good , but with what I've read recently I'm going to get newer/larger U-bolts for safety.
What do you guys think about the upper and lower control arms...do I need to change the cross shafts and/or the control arm bushings? THey seem tight and the expenses are really adding up right now...
