Incidently, one of my original dust shields was mangled. I got a replacement from the junk yard. When I was cleaning them up to paint them, I noticed the newer one is much thinner steel than the original. Evidently this was a 'cost reduction' sometime after '77. And BTW, the new one was noticably lighter than the old one.... hmmmm, less unsprung weight.
Thanks for the pics. It's looking real good.
SS bolts

BTW, are you looking to p***t the shock absorbers?

You can argue with me but you can't argue with figures. Two half nothings is a whole nuthin...
