jon521 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 pulled my shocks and my sway bar out. but that then led to it going down all the way to metal to metal, so i raised it about 1/2 inch. it rides like a boat now. but the sway bar will be going back in after some tweeking, and hopfully the shocks will too, after a little fabrication :) Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I looked at it. Waiting to get paid to buy all new drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, and wheel bearings. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I went to Pick-N-Pull and bought drum/hub/brakepads that looked near new. Cost me less than buying new parts, took less time to install and works perfectly. But if you got the money new parts will work too. Quote Link to comment

uberkevin Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I fixed all my lights, got under the truck and looked for Wires that were cut in anyway and fix it up. I also dropped my muffler because it was rattling on my frame cuz the weld For the braket to hold it up broke off. So I've still gotta fix my muffler Get bushings for just about the whole truck and a ton of the things. Trucks an everyday driver now! Quote Link to comment

JoeCool Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I looked at it. Waiting to get paid to buy all new drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, and wheel bearings. That's what I did too! Just looked at it. Wishing I had money to fix things. Hell, right now being out of work I don't even have money for state inspection and tags! Have to fix horn(s), backup lights, and turn signals to pass. Having electrical issues. Quote Link to comment
