Re: 1971 5.3/4L60E first time swap

been doing little things here and there to spruce up the old girl.

bought new 72 c10 style side markers to replace the faded originals, ordered LED taillight lenses.

Dad is having some new tires put on today, pretty sure the uniroyals are about 15 years old..... going with cooper cobras since they dont make the tiger paws anymore

I had to replace the driver side vent window with a LMC one and it has terrible wind noise and water comes in near the latch. put in a new driver window and window felts with regulator, still gotta rebuild the passenger side.

Did a full brake job. DO NOT BUY POL BRAND BOOSTER, MASTER, PROPORTIONING VALVES. our valve was bad from the start and causing front brakes to hold until line was loosened, and the booster was broken internally..... did front bearings, rotors, new calipers and pads, and rubber lines. Also added some energy suspension sway bar bushings, night and day difference in handling!!

I plan on rebuilding the steering and upper and lower control arms cleaning them up ect.
