Do you use the 79 idler arm and drill the frame or is there a sleeve made to adapt the 66 draglink to the 79 balljoints? Will a 66 C20 up ideler work with the 79 centerlink without drilling the frame? And Why hasn't anyone made a list of parts.
Oh, the other thing is brake hoses. I bought the 79 brake hoses but man these things are long. Did anybody use somthing different?

No the 66 idler won't mate to the later drag link. Texmo covered this about a yr ago. There is a list somewhere over at 67-72 chevy trucks website. I used 71-2 brake hoses | | |
