If you are maxing your upper ball-joint, and you dont want aftermarket uppers, you can just get a power performance ballpoint made specifically for this. its angled to fix the issue, and its much stronger then stock, or stock replacement.
or you could get cool looking tubular upper arms.. your choice. I like the tubular uppers because they give you more room underhood.
im not really a fan of the MMW plate style arms, but they're very popular right now.

PP balljoints:

Strodder · 05-02-2011, 06:17 PM

WOW that's kewl. I wish they made them for our trucks.

Price of cool ant cheap $100 each. I think my stock ones were 30 for both.

I think I'll just max them out for awhile. I can replace them six times for that price. They'll only be maxed when it's on the ground.

they're like $70 a pair.. not $100 each.
if you're going to max what you have, just keep an eye on the balljoint boot. they like to tear.

as far as arms fixing the problem, they use them in circle track along with mini-trucker guys.. so theres literally 100s of companies making them... just make sure they tilt the balljoint angle or you will have the exact same problem.

ruffrida2005 · 05-02-2011, 10:46 PM

That's why i would go with the MMW arms. It's a $100 for the set and you already have not ball joints.

daverod · 05-02-2011, 11:57 PM

Well that makes it worth it then.

How much were the arms? If I got the arms I would'nt have to spend 200 on steering u joints and couplers and supports and joints and joints.

ruffrida2005 · 05-03-2011, 12:09 AM

The s10 arms are $100, and the c10 arms are $175 I believe.

MrDude_1 · 05-03-2011, 06:23 PM

after some looking around when i got them they were on sale.. normal price is $99 a pair.

heres the 3 year old thread where they announced them:

ruffrida2005 · 05-04-2011, 04:46 PM

Hey Dave what DOM bag did you go with? What's the OD of your tires? And how much lift are you getting from laying frame? I'm just trying to figure out how much lift I'm going to get with a 2500 bag and 24" OD tire.

daverod · 05-05-2011, 02:22 PM

24" OD What size are those. 7.5x 3.14=23.55.

I'll check tonight.

CAL 58 GMC · 05-05-2011, 08:54 PM

Nice build man!

daverod · 05-05-2011, 09:56 PM

Thanks. Hay Paul my tires are 29" tall. It lifts my cross member 12". It's kinda hard to tell because I don't have my rear axle on. Good news is I got my engine back from the machine shop.

99 to Life · 05-05-2011, 10:23 PM

what all did you have to have done to the block?

daverod · 05-05-2011, 11:36 PM

Honed, cleaned, heads milled, valve job, new guides/seats,crank polished cam bearing installed. All the parts to rebuild it. I used the old pistons, had him press the rods on.

99 to Life · 05-05-2011, 11:56 PM

how much the block work and head work cost if you don't mind me asking?
I like to see what other shops in other areas charge.

ruffrida2005 · 05-05-2011, 11:18 PM

Thanks Dave. I guess 2500's will do fine to lift mine up good.

ruffrida2005 · 05-06-2011, 04:23 PM

Yeah that's not a bad price at all. The lub should be for your lifters and cam since your rebuilding it yourself.

My 350 for the 64 was about $1600 10 years ago, but had major head work and bored 40.

Strodder · 05-06-2011, 09:57 PM

Don't forget to add break in oil additive.

daverod · 05-07-2011, 10:30 AM

Yep. I guy tried to sell my a bunch at 8 a qt? Guess today is engine build day.

Well I might put my crank in.

I'm not a real mechanic.

I have to read a lot and look at pictures.

Lube, lube, lube on assembly. Keep it clean, and torque to specs. Don't over tighten where there is gaskets. Have fun

daverod · 05-07-2011, 01:39 PM

Ok maybe I'll do more than just put my crank in.

just jokin.

ruffrida2005 · 05-10-2011, 11:12 AM

This is how it's done.

daverod · 05-10-2011, 11:15 AM

I don't see a panhard bar? I thought the shocks went in the rear. Just wierd the bar is in the front?

ruffrida2005 · 05-10-2011, 10:13 PM

That's BS, Dave are you gonna raise up your gas tank so it wont drag? Also from the eye hole of the bushing, how far back is the lower bag plate?

daverod · 05-11-2011, 12:13 AM

9 7/8 to the center of the bag plate.
