Scored a freebie!
Scored the front end out from under a mid 70's truck to rob the brakes off of. Only problem is it has been sitting up for at least a decade, what do I need to check to make sure it isn't junk? Should I take the whole x-member or just the parts off of it?
Thanks Krue

hate to say it but after a decade in the open its prolly junk rubber seals wear out fluid deterioates from not being moved etc
if the rotors arent pitted they may be able to be resurfaced but youll prolly have to go for new b earings and a seal, the spindle should be ok but caliper hoses and metal lines are prolly furschizzle lol
