Re: another crewcab swb build
the 3/4-1 ton lower arms have bigger "holes" so the newer "larger" ball joints will press into them

Re: another crewcab swb build
On your interior trim, I am pretty sure the Suburban trim will work on everything except the rear pillars (C pillars). Those (should) be the same as a regular cab truck, IIRC. I am pretty sure the front section of the headliner and all of the front trim, along with the B pillar trim will work for a crew cab. That being said, I have never had a crew cab, but have parted out quite a few suburbans.

Re: another crewcab swb build
Joe let me clarify this,my old upper ball joints would not go into the 88up spindle ,but all you have to do is grind the rivets out of the old one and bolt the new ball joint in.

Thanks for the good words guys , as this is my first full paint job.There are some flaws in it. The camara does it justice,It will need a good color sand and buffing.

Re: another crewcab swb build
I'm sure that old bed will bring you some cash back if it is rust free those are not easy to find around KC and StL. Good Score!
