Something to add to "This I Know thread"--- "Take the crossmember out and un-bolt the bell housing....":lol: |

Re: Daverods project 66
Mine is a mustang rack, 79-93. I'm not sure what the diffrence between the musgang and pinto. I think the pinto may be a little shorter though.

Re: Daverods project 66
My understanding is that the 63-87 are all the same, 63-72 use pressed in bushings. Then you know the ball joints are diffrent from 63-70; 71-72; 73-87

Re: Daverods project 66
balljoints are diffrent because the spindles are diffrent. You know GM has to change something to make more money. It just depends on what spindles you wanna use, if your going 5 lug go look for some 73+ spindles, the other 2 are 6 lug.

Re: Daverods project 66
71 & 72 were the first year of standard issue disc brakes and are 5 lug. I think that I heard that the 71 and 72 were steel on steel in the upper and lower control shaft threaded ends and that 73 and up were rubber mounted in the shaft ends. Does yours have grease zerks in the ends??? if so, it is probably is 71/72,

photobucket is free you could open one just to see if that helps you posting the pics here |
Re: Daverods project 66
I can't believe they limit the pictures. Look at Allans site.;) I'm pissed. It just not the same unless I get to post pictures.:sumo:

Re: Daverods project 66
Man i keep forgetting that 71-72 are 5 lug, I need to drill that in my brain. But if your going to go 5 lug go with the 73-87 since it doesn't use the crazy bushings.

Re: Daverods project 66
That is correct. The control arm bushings on the C10's thru '72 were steel with a grease zerk. The C20's & C30's continued to use the steel bushings thru '87.

Re: Daverods project 66
Man sorry to hear you ab out your dog. I lost mine when I was on my second deployment to Iraq. she was17. It sucked.
|
Re: Daverods project 66
ruffrida, I have two things to say then....sorry about your dog and thanks for your service!:flag:
|
Re: Daverods project 66
The service isn't a problem, but it sucked to loose my dog.

Re: Daverods project 66
Thanks guys. It going to be hard to put him down. He's been my best buddy. I think he likes old trucks more then I do.;) On the lighter side I just got some corvette bezels on ebay for $30.:metal:Now I can be just like Strodder.:( See falling asleep helped save me some money. Now I can afford to buy two more. I'm going to order my dropped spindles but I don't know what I want. It seems there are two different types modular ones for like 300 and reg dropped ones for around 220. I'm thinking I'll get the spindle upgrade kit for 71-72 from cpp 269 you get the dropped spindle, upper ball joints and outter tie rod ends. I don't know if I need the tie rod ends if I go with rack and pinion? I wonder if I could swap out my upper/ lower shaft assembly for the new 73 type with the poly bushings?:confused: Transmission guy still has'nt even looked at my 3 speed went in today it was still sittting where I put it. I'm going in tomorrow and kick him in the balls then take it somewhere else. Ok I might not kick him. Well if I could get away with it I would.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
Sorry to hear about your dog. We had to give up one of ours bc she was viscously attacking our other dog. One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make. Now back to the trucks. Stop the rust and they will outlive all of us!
