Re: The Snortin' bull
 

So in May 2014 this basket case GMC I brought home.Each day it could be 5 minute's or 5 hour's I try to do something to keep the project moving.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

The auto manufacture's keep part's very similar over the year's .To transfer in updated frt suspension into these truck's is not a huge problem.The gauge of metal in the newer crossmember and a arms is heavier also.

Re: The Snortin' bull
