Sounds familiar. I just replaced on my 91 k2500 tow rig: upper control arm bushings, all the balljoints, the idler arm, and the sway bar bushings. Then again my junk has like 375k miles. Drives like new again doesn't it :D

Oh yah, I also got some BFG at's, but mine in the 35x12.5 flavor.
 
what do you think ?
yeah mine has 211,000 and it drives like new for sure it is nice differance of night and day
 
is that a Western plow frame? anybody know? i might know a guy interested in it if it was, and you wanted to take it off. :whistle:
 
all i can say is:

i sure as hell dont miss working on rusty ass trucks.
 
i sure as hell dont miss those lifts. my old boss always made me pull vehicles on that style hoist to remove gas tanks and other work. its a major PITA to take a side saddle gas tank out on one of those hoists. i like those tires better then the other ones thouh. mke the truck look little better.

yes it is but i am looking for a western plow lol
 
i like that rack but it is an alignment rack and one of the mechanics is a prissy beotch and he was pissed about me using that rack said i should have used a 2 post in ground in stead of tieing up that rack it made his "truck " alighments harder on the other rack
 
I need to replace the pitman on my 94 again. Im sitting at 212000, about 10k on a crate motor, and 4k on a rebuilt tranny. I like it. More or less cuz I dont have a car payment.
 
What is that "reddish brown" stuff that appears to be eating at the paint? I have never seen that on a vehicle before....:p: :haha:
