And pressing new balljoints would require the lower arms to be removed anyways...so I just swapped it as one piece.

ok thanks for the reply that helps a lot. ive been out of the truck game for awhile so ill be the guy asking all the dumb questions it would seem lol

disk brake conversion complete, just finished adapting all of the brake lines and pluming everything back into place. Here's a few pics from the first drive with disk brakes and the new carburetor.

Burb looks good.
Are those some type of Black Chrome wheels or just camera trickery?

04sshd · 03-08-2016, 08:18 PM

They're just regular chrome, they do look dark because they have black on the back sides off the wheels

Average Joe · 03-10-2016, 12:37 AM

Nice Burb! Turned out great.

04sshd · 03-25-2016, 01:18 AM
