what would you do?
I'm at a cross roads. I picked up a complete front suspension from a 77 half ton to convert my 68 to 5 lug discs. I have the cross member, brakes, and mc. I bought it so long ago I don't remember how much I paid. Before I install I would like to refresh all the bushings, ball joints, tie tods etc.
The question is... Would you sell this front end and just buy a disc brake conversion kit brand new from a vendor? Here are my thoughts. I want to bag the truck also. Keep it I'll have to buy a rebuild kit for it. -$300 Drop spindles- 275 Brake lines - no idea My labor and time rebuilding it - not including install So for about 700 I'll have a freshly rebuilt setup ready to install Sell it If I sell it I can buy a drop spindle conversion kit for around 8-900$ ready to install without me spending all my time rebuilding everything. Plus everything is new. Is my math right on this? What would you do? |
