After inventorying everything it looks like it’s all here, another step in the modernisation of my 71 Burban, I’m still trying to decide on what shocks to get, won’t do much towing all road and cruise

Re: More progress
Looks like progress to me! Keep us posted.
Have you read the Caster Mod thread? I did it to mine and it was well worth the work. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=501241

Re: More progress
The more I get into it the more I’m replacing, on the bright side wifey came out to see the progress and asked me what I was replacing, I told everything but the arms and spring, I told I couldn’t afford it them , she’s like the springs are old and rusty and 50 years old get new ones
So Im , gunna get 2” drop springs |

happy wife happy life, at least that's what I've been told. guess i never figured it out since I've two ex wives.
are you going to put power steering on it since you're replacing the suspension ? looks like you are doing it right by replacing all the worn out front end stuff. keep the pics coming.

Re: More progress
More progress on the Burban Suspension upgrade
A full afternoon of fighting rust grime and abuse the Control Arms are disassembled and soaking in POR15 Degreaser On trying to feel optimistic but the outer threads look toasted and not much threads left Unless they typically look that way, if they are done, no sense pulling the ball joints out |
