We have to keep people like him around to sell partially completed projects to the rest of us cheap.
That's how I got most of my old vehicles! Some people rescue cats & dogs...I rescue old cars and trucks!

Before investing in adjustable control arms take it to a GOOD front end shop and have the front cross member bent back to factory specs. Most have sagged during the years to a point shims can't correct. Once the upper A-frame mounts are back in position alignment problems disappear.

I'm not sure if we have a shop around here that would get that involved. Locally we only maybe one shop that still may have that kind skill, the guy is a little grumpy, think "Jerry" and add a very mean disposition.

Come, Bleed or Blister something has got to give!!! 59' Apache 31, 327 V8 (0.030 over), Muncie M20 4 Speed, GM 10 Bolt Rear... long term project (30 years and counting)
You wish the guy who built the truck kept records of the parts he used. The front clip, the rear end so you know where to start. Brakes, suspension and frame. Hope all works out.
Well I got the truck on the lift today and had a good look at the frame and modifications. It's about like I thought some scarry stuff going on under a pearl paint job.
I'm going to start a thread in the projects forum to track the work being done.
Some pics just for a taste.

I think we all have examples of those. Maybe not hanging on the shop wall for all to see, but.....
