Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread

Okay, so life happens and my plans have been juggled some. I was hoping to work on this thing one stage at a time, but I've been hopping around. I am currently in between painting the frame/re-doing the entire brake system/replacing ball joints (which I finished a couple of weeks ago)/and rebuilding my factory hubs. I have way too many photos to go through so I've decided to just start posting whatever I can with some descriptions.

I am doing all of this in my driveway with no special tools or presses. You can do this at home with a little extra elbow grease. You do not have to pay a shop to remove the ball joints or press them in. I ordered my ball joints from Rockauto.com. I saved over $50 by buying them online over the local parts stores. Rockauto.com is awesome. 3-4 day shipping and priced just right. I also got the spanner nut socket from them. I used all Moog parts.
