If doing the ball joints...double check they have the same taper. Every company has sent wrong parts before. Are you just wanting to replace or are you upgrading the brakes as well? The comlpete brake kits are affordable and supply 90% of the parts to rebuild the front ends...minus idler arm and pitman arm, plus you upgrade the ball joints to the newer 74 style. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | halfpint33.....before you overspend on parts and shipping I'd give the local guys a shot at the parts. While they may not have them on stock they can get them overnight most of the time and no shipping charges either. Be sure to look around. LMC is reasonable on lots of stuff and on some they are WAAAAY overpriced.... and don't forget, there are some vendors that give a stovebolt discount if you don't find the parts locally. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 98 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 98 | Thanks fer the info jon1963 & Achipmunk.I had tried NAPA and O'Reileys awhile back and some things they could get and others they couldn't.I think I'm gonna keep the drum brakes.The thought on this is to be as close to stock as possible.Will do power brakes/steering though. | | |
