Re: Out of the Ditch = The Rebuild Begins ('72 GMC)
Pulled the springs out of the 1969 front end yesterday. Now I know why there were a crap load of adjustment shims in the upper control arm and hard rubber spacers in the spring on the passenger side. The spring was broken.
Here is a shot of the drivers side stock spring next to the CPP lowering spring.
Gonna do ball joints today and paint some stuff like the 1972 spindles. Pic is the 1969 drums and spindles sitting next to the 1972 disc brake spindles.
