John,

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on TIG welding. I am totally new to this, however, find it very satisfying. Taking my time. Now with a few hours of welding on sheetmetal, can see why the .035 filler rod has advantages, much less filler rod weld build-up and less heat needed. I will order some from local welding store, they do not stock it. I got a few pieces from Steve my welder friend/professional.

One other question, from my reading here, have the impression that the K10 4x4s from 1963 to '87 pretty much have the same front suspension geometry in reference to the frame. Do you agree. Question is asked, as I plan to locate 1978 front sway bar in same location to '64 frame, as it was in '78.
