Lowering Front End, 1973-1987 GMC/Chevy Square Body Trucks, Part 1 

This is Part One of an ongoing series showing how to drop the front end of a Square Body using drop spindles and shortened springs.
Part One (this video) covers removing ball joints and control arm bushings by hand, without a press or any fancy tools.
Part Two • Lowering Front End, 19... covers removing bushing shells from the A-arms by hand, without a press or any fancy tools.
Part Three • Lowering Front End, 19... covers assembling the lower a-arm bushings and ball joints, and discusses options when it comes to lubrication.
The truck in the video is our 1984 GMC project vehicle, but the techniques depicted apply to any Square Body 73-87 GMC/Chevy Truck.
