RE: How difficult - Front suspension rebuild

[62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx]

Here's the scoop for '62 C-bodies...

Bill Rolik is putting a kit together for me includes everything for the 
front suspension BUT the tie rod ends..

apparently Moog or Spicer no longer make tie rod ends for the '62 

I found the TR ends on JC Auto (not JC Whitney), so I'm giving them a 
try.. hopefully they are good quality.
