Got a GT in for what should have been a reasonably quick job, rear
spring bushings and front A arm bushings.  Did the rear bushings and
yanked the front apart...started cleaning stuff and found the whole
front end is a mess.  Bad spindle on one side, upper arms crushed in
and bent from previous improper inner bushing installation, lower arms
stripped out where the outer bushings screw in, and evidently all the
pins and bushings were installed at one time by just "runnin' 'em
in"....what a mess....the ONLY things decent were the kingpins!
I looked at  everything for a while and decided I will toss it all and
drag in a low mileage parts Cruiser and pull the whole mess off it.
Clean it all up, put in some inner bushings, and stick it under the
GT.  Any ideas what I should get for the parts?!?  I don't think I
ever sold a WHOLE front end before....

ago. Don't know if this is low or high but thats what I was offered.
