Re: ClusterTruck; because that’s what it is

About the same time I was doing the floor (summer '17), I picked up a bare 72 long frame to get the front disc parts and rear end. I lucked out and it is a 3.73.
I went thru and blasted/painted the control arms and center link. I also got all new wear parts and a set of 2.5" drop spindles and hit those with some satin black. All this is on a shelf, ready and waiting. I like having those new parts ready like that, so when I'm sick of cleaning and painting, they're just ready to bolt on.

The rear end is still on the to-do list.

I had more pics, but have changed phones since then. I do have a shot of the caster mod I did.
I drilled 2 different distances on either side of the original locator hole. I think I went 1/2" and 1". One or the other should get me close to a happy adjustment without a lot of shims. We'll see.
