I took my 68 to a good front end mechanic of mine and its plum wore out....$680.00 worth of parts and labor. Upper and lower ball joints, pitman arm, lower bushings, and idler arm. WOW thats just about the whole front end other than tie rods....This $1000.00 Project truck is kinda nickle and diming me to death!
Any encouraging input would be greatly appreciated......
I think Im going to tackle the front end on my own. I priced the parts at $125.00 without power steering pump and alignment.
