Decided to keep 'er
I recently put my crewcab up for sale...well after cooling down(thread; Not very happy),I have decided to keep it. I am gonna start by replacing the body mount bushings w/energy suspension parts. Then I will be getting all the inspections I need to put it back on the road.
Then I will be looking for drop spindles,rear shackles/hangers,and wheels/tires. I just need help keeping 'motorvated'! -Lance

Re: Decided to keep 'er
will body mounts cause the driver's side fender to not align properly with the door? (larger gap @ bottom than top?)

Re: Decided to keep 'er
yes but also check the structural integrity of the cab itself. The vendors and catalogs sell replacement pieces to put on the cab if that is rotted out.. this happens in the salt belt

Re: Decided to keep 'er
No rust. I think I will just replace the bushings and go from there.

Re: Decided to keep 'er
New cab mounts all around should help. Glad you decided to keep it.
