Cool 3 day weekend - Got some work done on the 72

Greetings everyone. I had a 3 day weekend so I managed to put a few hours into the truck. Heres what I accomplished: 1) I installed the lower sway bar brackets 2) Installed the front crossmember 3) Installed the upper and lower control arms. I couldn't compress the coils, so no spindles today.

the cool part about it, is that HE wants to help. I hope never loses interest in spending time with the old man in the garage.
