The saga is over, maybe?

This will probably be longish, so I apologize. For christmas I got ECE drop spindles and springs. I tore my truck apart in Febuary and found out that the P/O went off roading or something and bent the lower control arm. After waiting on a company for 3 months to get me my control arms I abandoned them and searched from east coast to west coast trying to find a control arm. I really couldn't believe how hard it was to get one of these suckers. I eventually called ECE and they sent me to their supplier of used arms, Vintage Chevy, and had them 2 day shipped to my house. Got them on a friday, sand blasted till 3 am, painted and worked on saturday and spent all sunday putting my truck together. That night it sat on 4 wheels for the first time in 4 or 5 months. I coudln't believe it. Well, the next day it wouldn't run. Turns out my fuel lines barfed up a bunch of crap that would get lodged in the needle and seat and flood the motor. Ugh!! New fuel filter along with a rubber mallet to tap the top the the needle and seat solded that problem. New BFG Radial T/A's and I'm back on the road. It rides so much better without heated springs and constantly riding on the bump stops. I do wish it was a little higher though, like half a inch. There is only 1 way to get out of my driveway without scraping the shock mount on the control arm. Luckily now that schools out I can park across the street in their parking lot and not worry about it. The only draw back is the gas mileage, I kinda miss driving the cavalier. I need to get a motorcycle, bah! It sure feels nice to ride in a vehicle that gets thumbs up and second glances again!!!
