Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
Thanks I gave it a try and happily it worked. Got it off and now have both new knuckles installed. Tomorrow I will be installing the new steering box and the support brace.- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
Sorry I fell like I am going to this group every day with another issue. I am having a really hard time getting the adjusting sleeve out of the drivers side ball joint. I have heated it, PB Blaster and impact wrench nothing. I read that I do not actually have to take it out I can hit the top...- TheHoundsman

I got a cheap set off of Amazon (next day delivery) and I was able to get the bolt out with an 11mm socket. Thanks again for the advice.- TheHoundsman

Feeling pretty good about what I got done today. Mounting the support brace for the steering box is probably not going to be easy but when I get to that point I will hopefully be close to the end.- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
So day one is in the books. Let’s say it wasn’t easy and I had to come in the house and jump on you tube A LOT and look up one thing after another. I couldn’t get the lower ball joint to break free, I couldn’t get the axel shafts out, I couldn’t the spindle back on. The good news is I learned...- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
So we are off and running. No turning back now. However it wouldn’t be a project for me if there weren’t issues. My steering gear box has some type of torx bolt holding it to the steering arm so I am trying to find a socket that fits that. The brake calipers are also held on with a hex bolt...- TheHoundsman

Question number 2. The above mentioned cruise control unit (pictures attached). First am I right in that it is in fact for the factory installed cruise control and then since the hoses are not attached to anything and there is only the green and blue wire that don’t appear to be doing anything...- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
I am hoping for some advice if you all don’t mind. I have been trying to get the speedometer to work in the truck and at this point I have replaced the cable running from the gage cluster to the transmission (not as straight forward as it might seem). When I first started to dig into it I...- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
Thanks I’m doing what I can at this point. I went to replace the headlights yesterday only to realize when I had the first one out in that they only sent me one. Now I am fighting with Amazon to get them to send me the second that they are claiming they did. In the mean time I’m driving around...- TheHoundsman

It’s good to know this. The leaves in the picture were from the prior owner when it was in TX but I do have a tree out front that drops a lot of crap so I will be mindful.- TheHoundsman

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
I just figured it would be a good time to do it while I have the wheels off. I had read that for the most part a GM 10 bolt front axel is strong enough for what I will be using it for but that if I were to upgrade the axel shafts I would never have to worry about it. Keeping in mind I will not...- TheHoundsman
