Thanks this is the stuff I simple don’t know.Just fix what's there. Doesn't look too terrible.
Good morning all,
I'm reaching out to the classic car community for help locating my dad's old 1979 Chevy Suburban. This vehicle holds a lot of sentimental value, as it was a beloved family car that we had many great memories in growing up.
Just go to the DMV and pay a couple of bucks to get the records pulled. They can tell you the name and address of the current owner for a small fee. All you need is the VIN.
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.Did you do ball joints on the driver side, also? Was there a clip on the upper on that side? I don't think there is a snap ring on the upper ball joint......been awhile
It has been slow going. I am still trying to figure out what I am going to do about the wiring. I don’t think I have enough knowledge to try to fix the wiring as some of you have recommended so I am thinking it might just be easier to try too install the Painless rewire kit I purchased. Truthfully it seems a bit overwhelming but that is literally what ever YouTube video ays and then they follow up with just break it down into smaller sections and it will start to come together. This truck does not have power windows or door locks so a lot of the wiring is probably not going to get used anyway.You have a ton of work ahead of you. I look forward to seeing the progress.
The people here who are knowledgeable are saying to service what you have but some YouTube videos showing you how to install a new painless harness say to buy new. HmmmTruthfully it seems a bit overwhelming but that is literally what ever YouTube video ays and then they follow up with just break it down into smaller sections and it will start to come together.
