Re: Low mileage 1987 Chevy 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton - Undoing the hacks!

I ordered a few more things today, hopefully the “big expense” part will just be these next few purchases.

• Ordered a pair of 3 leaf, 3/4 ton front leaf springs (broken spring pack on driver side), and a pair of new shackles, for $455 shipped. Not bad to Alaska!

• Ordered a set of Squarebody specific U-bolts to remount the front axle. $75 shipped

• Ordered a full set of TTX ball joints, plus the upper sleeve tool from Napa, $330

Edit: Sold the fuel tank from the ‘86 for $50!
