More Questions

Hey guy's
Few more question's about re assemble of my truck
When re installing the shafts onto the control arms how do you tighten them equally?
Or is there no wrong way?
Just looking at it last nite and haven't tried to re install them yet but cant figure it out in my mind

Thanks in Advance for the insight



Mike

Yup, tighten them equally. Just make sure that on the lower ones that the positioning hole is in the right spot.

It seems like we are on the same stages on the rebuild, I just painted all my front end parts today and tommorow I will be putting on all the ball joints and stuff. I spent over $400 on just the upper and lower ball joints and the upper control arm shafts and I got a deal on the parts. :O

I am still trying to figure out what I will do for my brake lines.

Napa, you have to insist that they give you a discount though, tell them you always buy stuff there and got one in the past, before they knocked some $$$ off the total was $500

I work for napa indirectly
I work for a company called Traction Heavy Duty Parts it is the heavy division of napa that is why I asked I get great deals on parts.
If you want to get some pricing call me more then happy to help you out.
Like you said we are at the same stage in rebuild
So just for kicks what did you pay for upper cross shafts and ball joints?

yeah maybe call me next time
the upper shaft is 32.00 for me and the joints I think were 24.00 and 41.00 I think I am going by memory but cheaper none the less
I would like to see your truck some day.
