Thanks for the video I will be doing the same thing in my 77 c20 along with the steering components. I bought all new control arms and steering components instead of having to deal with it the way you done I’m lazy .
I just got my motor back from the machine shop today for my 72 c10. Now I need to clear out my shop so I can pull the cab and bed and clean and paint the frame like you did. You're making some good progress!
Well sir another video in the chevy build library had never seen how they are assembled not that hard the way you did it. Bueno sir be standing by 4 the next 1. Hopefully you'll be done by this coming Wednesday lol again sir awesome job God bless stay safe
you'll be the 2nd person behind the wheel of this truck. Im going to take it on its first cruise. lol. yeah man. ill let you know when then project comes to an end. we will take it out for a spin
Joe if your interested i have some springs i had from my c10 they just need to be cleaned and if you want to do a flip kit in the rear they sell some axle perches at tractor supply you just flip the u bolts and weld the perch under axle between the leaf springs and easy cheap rear end drop 5 for less than 20$
hey Nathan I will be calling my uncle up in a bit. ill let you know later today about the wheels. I appreciate the jester on the springs brother. I already ordered drop spindles and shorter springs for the front. for the rear. in got the frame dropped 4 inches =/- with lowering shackles and removed 2 leafs.
@@JoesBusBarn ok 👌 thanks joe yea cause i really need some i had sold mine years back for 100 from another truck i had and regreted it now that i got this truck and rightnow i just have it on stands bought some wheels from a guy but they didnt fit the calipers but let me know today cause i found some but in weslaco im from mcallen thanks for the content joe 👌👌
Next time just lift the upper control arm up and use the impact... the shims are usually different thicknesses... Napa has those control arms already assembled with new ball joints and bushings complete for $115... for lower and $85 for top. cheaper than buying individual parts...
hey Jody. thank you for the info on control arms at NAPA. I am going to be working on an 85 square body in the near future. I will look into buying them instead of going through all this cleaning and painting. as for the impact.control arm bushings made it stiffen up. didn't want to pry it with pry bar so we wouldn't scratch up the paint. but yes. its would have been easier with the impact appreciate the comment brother. thank you

Thanks for the tutorial!
It's definitely nice on these kinds of projects to be constructing instead of deconstructing and fixing damage and rust.

Why not install new springs?
Hey Joe, what kind of paint did you go with for the chassis? Rust-oleum?
rust-oleum semi gloss paint. thinned it out 50/50 with acetone
Will you be painting the front springs? Silver, red ,black or blue
I think im going to do them black.
@@JoesBusBarn nice ✌️
You need a,floor jack
I think your camera is going bad.
Hey,seem like your not doing it right should have installed both ball joints,first
