    I hear you I am just saying I am not sure I have the knowledge yet to “service what I have”. Certainly not trying to be disrespectful to this group just well aware of my limitations.

    I haven’t done the drivers side yet. I’m still waiting for them to be delivered. I messed up and only ordered one set of Ball joints and spindle studs. They will be here this week. I’ll check when they get here. It has been slow going. I am still trying to figure out what I am going to do...

    You may be right and TBH I don’t really know enough to know just how bad the wiring is. I just know that there seems to be wires hanging everywhere and I had to rerun the rear break light wiring.

    Thanks I did check the frame for cracking at the steering box and it does not appear to be cracked. With that said I already purchased the reinforcing plate and plan to install it when I put the new steering box in. As for drag links he told me he replaced them and looking under the truck it...

    Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban

    Good evening guys. I may have mentioned this before but the wiring in the Burb is an absolute mess. Literally there are just loose wires hanging everywhere. As a result I am thinking that it might be best for the long run to just rewire the whole thing. I have seen a bunch of people...

    I did some work on the wheels and center caps. New tires should be on soon and truck will be back with a solid baseline for me this week.
