Thanks! Well the clip is off and I have been cleaning the frame etc. I know I'll be doing the kingpins and the driver side shock is missing. Springs have crummy aftermarket coil helper springs on top and the spring shackles and bushings are totally shot. Haven't pulled the front drums but I have new wheel cyls from napa and excellent drums and shoes from a friend here that converted a restored '46 truck to disc brakes. I have a very dead 1/2 ton panel that seems to have good front shocks, so it's down to the boneyard this weekend. I have always enjoyed brake and suspension work for some reason.
