Great job finding some good inexpensive parts. I've tried the cheap eBay suspension parts before and they lasted 2 years and I drive the truck once a month lol.
Great video. I'm getting ready to tackle the same thing as soon as we get some days above 60 degrees. Went with speedway control arms and viking coil over adjustable shocks. Hopefully start in next weekend. I have a question. Mine has a manual steering box. But anyway is it possible to remove the upper control arm without dismantling the steering rod? Thanks for the video
Thanks. I completed the job about a month ago and yes I was able to leave steering column in place. Just got everything back from alignment shop so anxious to drive it when it decides to stop raining.
If I know I am doing a job that involves several sections of work I spray penetrating oil on all the bolts I am planning on removing even if part of the job will be done later.
@@gsfootage5959 yep, I had to remove my exhaust bolts and sprayed them on both sides, the first ones were still a bitch but the later ones came right off.
Great video- started and completed my tear down yesterday on my 70 chevelle 454ss. Thank you for sharing safety aspects of removing the springs.
Great video! I will be doing this soon as well on my ‘71 Chevelle. I’m documenting the build as well. Keep the videos comin’!
Thanks! Will do!
Huge fan of the channel!!! I cant wait to see this series of videos. Keep it coming
Thank you sir , appreciate the comment

Yeah those a arms are pretty neat, I hope they hold up. The cpp stuff is good but pricey
Thanks for the tips!
Hell ya!!!!
Hell yea brother
Getting ready to do the same on my 72 Elcamino video helped a lot......I sub'ed
Thanks for taking the time.
Nice work. I’m looking to do the exact same thing to my 70 El Camino.
Cutter pins?
They are called Cotter Pins
Slowly down the Jack and the spring goes ...... Opps, o not !
What size wheels are on your Chevelle?
They look great
You could just cut the sway bar links probably would've saved you a few minutes. Nice car. I have a 70 Olds 442 so appreciate a nice GM A Body
Did you have to put back the shims from the old upper a arms on the new tube a arms? I think they are for wheel alignment purposes.
Most of the time it will need shims...old cars arent perfect.
