Looking for OE & Moog P/N's -Front Suspension - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mcmlxix · 09-24-2003, 04:53 PM

If someone has access to the GM part numbers and the Moog part numbers for the 71-72 1/2 ton front suspension with Power Steering, please help. I want to rebuild the front end with Moog and need the part numbers. I also think this would make a good FAQ.
.......................................GM Part Number.........Moog Part Number
Upper Ball Joints
Lower Ball Joints
Inner Tie Rod Ends
Outer Tie Rod Ends
Tie Rod Sleeves
Idler Arm
Pitman Arm
Upper Arm Shafts
Lower Arm Shafts
New Upper Arm Shaft Shims
Lower Arm Shaft U Bolts
Drag Link (if available)

This is what I need. If we make this a FAQ and someone has the info. list the same for NON Power Steering 71-72 and the 67-70

I think that you can get the whole kit from Carolina Classics for around 490 dollars??? somewhere around there. I got my kit from Early Classic Enterprises and I paid around 525 dollars for it I think. Great service and fast shipping though. If you want a great experience, go with Early Classic.

mcmlxix · 10-07-2003, 09:16 AM

I just orderd all the moog front end parts online from :
http://www.autopartsgiant.com/
They were the cheapest $465 with free shipping. (ground)
The only thing I didn't order from them was the tie rod adjusting sleeves. I found a billet set for $35. To me the originals just look weak. I know they lasted for the first 32 years but the billet ones look so much stonger, and nicer too.

boraxman · 10-07-2003, 09:42 AM

Good luck with autopartsgiant.com. I have had a nightmare time with them. I ordered some Moog ball joints and other stuff for my truck. The 2 lowers were in the correct box but 2 different ball joints. I order 2 more, shipping & handling again. I send the first ones back(my dime) still no credit after a week. Im about ready to complain to the BBB.

mcmlxix · 10-07-2003, 10:51 AM

great! now I'm scared. I trie buying them locally but they all wanted outrageous amounts of money. I was going to go with ECE or Carolina Classics but I found these guys on line and free shipping. Well I hope this turns out better then your experience. I usually end up screwing myself looking for the "best deal" !!
How did you ID the parts not being Moog? Are they stamped? I still have another 5-7 days before the parts arrive..... i hope .. i hope .. i hope ...

boraxman · 10-07-2003, 11:41 AM

Hopefully you have better luck than me. Be sure to check everything as soon as you get it. I waited till I was ready to install and then found out. They were Moog parts, just two different ones.

loweredd · 10-08-2003, 10:21 PM

We sell MOOG at work. If you buy over 4 parts, you get a 10% discount. I bet I beat all others prices.

loweredd · 10-08-2003, 10:23 PM

dang it I wish I got comission. LOL. I love selling parts to people for cheap. I only wish when I called other places, they wouldn't hose me.

mcmlxix · 10-09-2003, 12:25 AM

Canada20 · 10-09-2003, 03:03 PM

cwilli84 · 10-15-2003, 12:49 PM

Mother truckers has a complete set from Moog also. Good stuff and great service.

10-21-2003, 08:54 PM

edelbrock makes a set of adjusters that look pretty nice to me.

boraxman · 10-21-2003, 09:00 PM

Does anyone know if the Moog ball joints are prelubed? Seems like theres some lube but do they need more?

loweredd · 10-21-2003, 11:00 PM

you need to "top them off" with grease when you get them all installed. The lube that's in there is mainly to stiffle rust as it sits on the shelf.
