Well bad news for my checkbook... good news for me, i'm going to need new spindles, which is somthing i already should have bought, but these balljoints are absolutly glued to the spindle, on the upper c.a. the shaft of the balljoint is broken free and rotates with the spindle instead of the spindle rotating on the shaft... i"ve used jacks, sledge hammer, cheaper bar and pickle... NOTHING, so i'll be ordering some new tie rods and spindles tomorrow. Thats just about all the parts i lack though.

On a side note.. what should i expect to pay to rebuild my 350? I want somthing very mild, not looking for high h.p. but it needs to be done while the truck is apart, i'm considering doing it myself being pretty mechanically inclined.. anyone have a guess??
