72 Duster Resurrection

General brake pad thing. I prefer it in a spray can. You spray the metal backs of the pads, let em tack up and install em.

I like the community college idea. That sounds great, and a paint booth too. Core returns yep easier w store. Plus same price its all good.

I would do the V8 last, or next to last with body and paint being last so you dont have to lift off a nicely painted hood. I remember doing a V8 swap on a 71 C/10 i had. I rebuilt a 350, and a muncie M21 trans, and made a list of everything i needed to have for the swap right down to a correct length. i pressed new u joints in. Once i was sure i had everything i needed and rebuilt, i rented a cherry picker over the weekend and on a cold assed december friday night i drove the truck into my dads garage with the inline six, and sunday afternoon drove it out w a V8 in it, monday i returned the cherry picker.

I got my XRF K772 uppers off ebay, along with the XRF K781, and 783 lower ball joints. They came in the mail last week along w inner and outer tie rod ends.
