Re: 1964 C10 fleet side swb

Having the engine out makes the truck look like an old gasser. On the suspension, the ball joints, tie rods, and other steering stuff is ok to torque down without weight on it. It's the control arm bushings that you want the full weight on before you torque them down, especially with poly or delrin stuff.

Your truck is lookin' good! I like the way the brake lines are routed away from where a lot of engine heat sits
