As a young punk I owned a sweet 85 Silverado, had done most major upgrades was just down to paint, showing off trying to rip longer second gear chirps and rolled it, damn I miss that truck, and the way they’ve rose in value is crazy.
LOVE that truck!
Would have been nice to see the tape on the height when it was back on the floor
Keeping the lowered clip just to yourselves I see haha
Lowering the front end of a pickup is squirrely.
But why lower a super nice classic work truck?
That’s going to be one sweet looking square body, keep up the good work!
Rookie’s
Those tie rod ends (as well as bushings and ball joints) should have been replaced anyway, so buggering the threads should’ve been no big deal. If you’re worried about your budget that much, you’re probably not going to be shelling out for drop spindles to begin with.
TheKiltedYaksman1 exactly my thought too. Not sure why they weren’t replaced with the project
No joke for $200 they could have done it correctly. The best part was not using new bearings…
When tearing down and re-assembling, wear a head or body cam next time for a better view and visual effect of what you are actually doing for the viewers. Good video, but seamed to much like watching the shows on Motor Trend…youtube is a different platform that people like more. Check-out Vice Grip Garage. Derek is spot on while doing that.
Y’all separating them ball joints and tie rods the hard way I see.
i always hit them on the side and they pop loose without any chance of damaging the nut or the threads..
@Waylon Wire’s Old Iron I was going to suggest the same. Smack the cast iron part. I spent many years using separators and smacking the threads+nut. You can go to town on the cast iron without worrying about damaging it.
Be careful of the springs when doing this. One can fly out of there and kill you
“…only used hand tools…”
Um… 10:00 says otherwise… 😉
Take the castle off and turn it over to strike the flat side so you dont damage the castle nut.
Take the castle nut off and flip it around 180° to thread it back onto the ball joint. This will protect the castellations from damage.
thats how my pappy taught me to do it
Can’t lower my square body. I still use it to haul stuff.
I’m guessing dozens of seasoned auto techs have told you to never strike the ball joint and tie rod ends. You had the idea to strike the bosses on the spindle, besides it’s getting a new one.
I would have replaced at least all rubber bushings.
HELLO, PLEASE CREATE RUSSIAN SUBTITLES))))
This is a great truck…
Lower is JUST WRONG
I would’ve thrown rotors on it,
The old ones looked like they were in a sandbox for 20 years…
