Re: 1967 C10 Urban Retro

Had a rough two days working on the truck, tried to install my 4 inch drop coils in the back. Bottom bolt heads broke. Top ones striped. Cut passenger side coil out with grinder. Top mounting clamp bolt stripped!!!! Grinder gave up on me!!!! Couldn't find a blade that would cut the coil with my reciprocal saw... Sigh! I've never embarked on something like this. Very mechanically ignorant. Frustration!!!!! A little discouraged but not giving up!!!! If once you fail try try again!!!!!
