I had only two items on my Christmas list this year....suspension parts! Firmfeel roller bearing idler arm kit, and Firmfeel sector support kit. I got both! My family does care! I've been collecting parts for two years now. I have the large ball joint type upper control arms, reworked lower control arms (snugged and welded on support plates) factory sway bar type, '76 K frame welded up supported steering box/skid plate, factory sway bar, new upper and lower ball joints, heavy duty tie rods, factory steering link...still need the front brake rotors for factory disk setup, master cylinder, etc. and some accessories, rework the Moog idler arm with the roller bearing kit, get some bushings, maybe upgrade strut rods. I haven't decided on urethane bushings or rubber for the lower control arm pins...seems like the greaseable urethane bushings might be OK. It's amazing how much work goes into this, and I haven't even started the swap yet...just collecting, refinishing old parts, collecting new parts. But we all love this stuff; very rewarding to build something yourself, get to know every nut and bolt. Can't wait to redo my '67 into the '68-76 type front suspension. I already did the rear, swapping 7 1/4 rear with 8 3/4 and upgraded the rear leafs (that's already made a huge difference, with the front redone it should be a completely different feel). I plan to swap out the rear axles when I do the front, going to LBP, front factory disk brakes, rear large drums, 15" rims (got me some cop car steelies last year (still need to sand blast and paint those). Happy Holidays everyone! Brian |
