Hello & Howdy All,
I am ready to lower my truck but since I am pretty sure the front end has never been worked on and it is abit loose I thought I might as well do a complete rebuild.
I have good mech skills and engines have never been a prob. but this will be my first front end. Anything I should be aware of? Should I just take this to a shop?? Hate to drop cash if I can do the work my self. Parts I can get wholesale and tools aren't a problem either I just want to know if there are any tricks or hints that can be offer by those who have gone before.
Thanks in advance,
1 Leg Lance
