So it begin's
I took the Ramp truck to the guy to start the front end swap. He is gonna pull the whole front end craddle and put the 86 model in it. He is also gonna replace the worn out motor mounts also while he has it. Got all the parts ordered and should have them all by Wedensday.
The only thing I'm not sure on is the pitman arm. If I need to use the one on it now are get one for a 86? Any thoughts on this.

Re: So it begin's
Does the truck have a late model power sector on it? If so I would use the right pitman arm for the application.

Don't throw anything out, if you have space store it. Either you or someone else will find value in it in the future of course.
