Hmmm, I don't think I am gonna do the front suspension myself then, not unless I have someone helping who has done them before.

Well, I am off to the junkyard to see if I can find any front fenders.

Certainly!  Which one would you prefer?  I've a Cannondale, a Trek, and a Bianchi....take your pick.  I can't send all three, but I'm willing to throw in some extra parts and tools if you can guarantee she does windows ;)

I managed to find some rust free fenders at the junkyard, the first one was a real pain to take off (hour and a half), but the second one came off in like 10 minutes. They are (of course) a different color scheme (and are badged 6.2 Liter Diesel), but they are still a whole lot better than the ones that were on it, plus they won't be so glaring out of place once I primer them, since the truck is almost the exact same color as primer grey anyway!  ;D ;D

I might go back and steal the rear bumper too, as it is perfect, and mine has been hit.

There's another reason you can do that in MO but not in MA.  We don't have pick and pull yards like that.  They were all eliminated 20 years ago when the land became too valuable to use for rusting out cars.

Are lower control arm bushings easier?


If you're going to do one, you might as well do both while you have it all apart. I agree with Cooter, it's not really a hard job just really a time consuming, knuckle busting, pain in the backside that will make you want to throw tools and use colorful language.
