Crash repair

Ya man you can call it ironic or just plain bad luck (i call it the story of my life)..
I originally bought this truck to hot rod out and turn it into a great off road monster, but as life has it the truck ended up being my daily driver. lost job, lost my Ram and some other toys I had. much more goes along with that story as well but not here for all that.

Okay I pretty much have all the parts now. I think all i have left to order is headlights, I already orderd rear shocks but will not be here till monday.. Well a few odds and in's things like exhuast pipe connector, some nuts and botls ext..
I have the body parts but have not got around to taking pics of them and probably will not till i get to the point of installing them. Right now i am putting things all bak together and just finished the upper control arm bushings, this is when the UPS guy honked and showed up with my radiotor. So taking a break right now lol. here are the pics of the parts

Those are the front shocks. Dunno about tiny, perhaps they look tiny in the photo but are decent shocks. They are the best model Monroe makes.. here is a link. (keep in mind I have to use Orielly Auto because of my discount that i can get in order to save big $$$)

Alright, just finished up the lower control arm bushing and installed the lower ball joints. Not as hard as what I figured it was going to be, just time consuming is all. Tell ya what, I got lucky when I stopped in at advance auto tonight. The guys there let me use one of the rental ball joint remover for free. I used this to press out the lower control arm bushings as well, man it made is so easy to remove and install the bushing, not to mention the ball joint. Was pretty simple over all. Well I am going to be putting it back together for the next several days.. Well make the do it yourself post in several days from now, possible next weekend. with all the pics I took and information it is going to take several hours to put it all together.
