    upper A-arm shaft bolts

    ... I have done a visual on the front. All of the factory rivets are still in, The cross members are undamaged. The A-arms do not appear to be bent. This tells me no previous damaged to the truck? The engine is still in the frame, but I was able to pull five of the measurements on this drawing...
