Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Forgot to show the ball joint tool in action . Worked super easily on the lower joints . Had to take off the portioning valve to get some adapters for the lines to work . Trip to NAPPA and it done .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Got the brakes buttoned up today the brake line adapters worked well. The Duralast brake hoses worked out better than expected . I did have to file the head to fit the brackets . And add some scuff guard wher it just touches the upper control control arm

All back together and driving . Total front drop 5 1/2 inches rear 4 . I’m thinking of going with 1 inch blocks on the rear .

Finally got around to getting the seat new foam and cover. Fixed broken springs. What a difference in the ride.

Thanks. It's the one you've been giving me help with on the column. Keeping it original, but the 283 is tired and needs some love.
