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 Im 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 couldnt afford it them , shes like the springs are old and rusty and 50 years old get new ones
So Im , gunna get 2 drop springs |

Re: More progress
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
A little more progress on my 71 Burban suspension rebuild
Driver’s side is almost complete All new control arm shafts and bushings, new 2 inch drop springs, next week the passenger side hopefully it will go smoother. With my phone I can’t flip pictures to view correctly Last edited by LockDoc; 09-09-2024 at 09:25 PM. Reason: Rotate Pictures |

Re: More progress
Lots of progress made on my 71 Burban front suspension rebuild
All done except brake Caliper was seized so ordered new set for front, and lost/misplaced upper control shaft zerk fitting. All in all a learning curve to say the least everything that was rubber it a bushing is new |
