1972 k10

I'm needing to replace the ball joints in my 72 k10 what brand would you suggest. This will be a weekend warrior with little offroad use but I don't want to skimp out for quality either. If anyone has part numbers that would be great and I also need to buy the sockets and C clamp press also. Any help would be great.

I would look into Moog ball joints, they are very popular.

X2 on Moog. It's all I use in my vehicles for front end parts.

Re: 1972 k10

I used Moog... x4 for them.

You can borrow the necessary tools from Autozone.

I made a tool for four bucks that made removing the driver's side upper ball joint possible without having to remove the steering arm, which can be a PITA. Check out the last post on this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=704541
