yes there is,find a 1973 - 86 chevy or gmc and swap the whole front suspension or you can just swap spindles, outer tie rods and upper and lower ball joints. I bought a parts 1985 gmc and took that plus swapped in the power steering as well. There are tons of these trucks around Winnipeg area to get those parts from.

i think what ill start doing today is clean up some parts and start organizing

Mr.Hyde · 10-08-2012, 09:17 PM

So parts are organized and I will probably buy some de greaser to clean up all the parts. Need an opinion from a few of you though. If I go black truck I'm trying to figure out what to paint the drive train. I'm thinking chevy orange with chrome valve covers and air filter. But I'm looking for more originality then the typical chevy orange. Also if anyone wants to request any picture let me know ill be editing the biddy pictures to be easier on the eyes.

well there are tons of engine colors to choose from nowadays theres no right or wrong really. A tip for a cheap degreaser I use oven cleaner of the heavy metal stuff,just don't let it dry on the part. and then pressure wash everything after scrubbing.
