Re: 1967 Custom Sport Truck

I got the DS done. It's ready for the brakes to be bled.

I couldn't get grease into any of the new upper or lower control arm brackets bushings. I've read from searching on this forum that it's a common issue with brand new bushings ("bushings" are really just metal caps around shaft, so the grease is really just to reduce wear on the threads as they go up and down about 10 billion times over the life of the truck) and I plan to just take it around the block a few times to hopefully loosen them up enough for grease to flow through.
