Re: Steering
Can't help you with the steering, but wanted to know about your front springs and shackles.

Re: Steering
Those are the original shackles and springs, the springs were redone at a local spring shop. Had my brother machine new pins for the front. Will have to pull the pins out after we get everything all mocked up and get them surfaced hardened .

Re: Steering
If no longer needed, please consider offering old removed parts for sale to other members. Some, like those k20 front drums are unobtanium and may make the difference in keeping another old truck on the road.
Good luck with your project. Tom BTW love the rolling jack stand setup you made, think I'm going to steal that idea.

Re: Steering
Going to do a little research on a sway bar, I think you need to have one on the front and the rear. Any advice would be appreciated. And we are not planning to lift it at this point, just going to run the stock suspension for now.

Re: Steering
Just my opinion but you dont need crossover
You cant run it with a sway bar anyway You have options with the pitman arm and drag link to keep geometry as close to stock as possible

Re: Steering
If you're not going to lift it, keep it stock on the steering. It works great that way and will drive good with the swaybar on it.
