Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
upper control arm bump bumps
Fun Fact: only reason I opted to run sum is to keep the 2" lowering coil springs from falling out when jacking up the truck |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so guess what? I'm redoing the driveshaft turns out the Lexus drive shaft has the center bearing support bracket on the wrong shaft (differential side instead of transmission side) so it aint gonna work out for me, so three drive shafts later...
I'm gonna post a video explaining all this so please stay tunned |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so I thought I would clean up the center bearing drive shaft support cross member just a tad
yes all that dirt is just from the back side of the center crossmember, wait till you see how I cleaned the other side |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
well I was driving myself crazy so I decided to make brown things gray
thanks be to a forum member who hooked a brother up with two proper upper coil ear lobes (I'm sorry but once you see them you can't unsee them) |
