Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I finished assembling my front suspension today - well with the exception of the calipers and ceramic pads. I bought a complete suspension out of an 85 C10 over a year ago, I took it to work, broke it down, steam cleaned it, pressed out the old lower ball joints & all the bushings, media blasted everything, painted it all, pressed in new Poly bushings & new lower ball joints (thank goodness we have a 100 ton press at work) I took the pieces back home for final reassembly, it's too hard to move in one piece. I added CPP 2 1/2" drop spindles & CPP 6 lug rotors, I used Raybestos Professional Grade Ball Joints, Moog standard rate springs & the control arm bushings are Energy Suspension pieces, the sway bar is 1 1/4" & came from a 1 ton 76 truck, all in all I've got over $1,000.00 wrapped up in this and I don't know when I'll get around to getting it all installed. Oh, I even made a little stand for the suspension saddle that just fits my floor jack so I can pick it up, move it around & jack it into place by myself. (In theory anyway)
