Re: Dropmembered 64 stepside
Effin Autozone ordered me 2 different kinds of balljoints. One old version 1 new version they claim. Since they will be exposed I sent one back to get a matching pair.. Project at a stand still untill 2 days from now...

Re: Dropmembered 64 stepside
Man you have got to post a vid of when you fire that engine up!
That thing looks killer.
Awesome, and the turnbuckle tensioner for your altenator is too cool, though after looking at it more closely I would probably safety wire it to keep it from loosening itself...

Still looks cool as

Re: Dropmembered 64 stepside
Thanx Mad...I like how the clamp fits the top profile of the battery. Good choice.
