...before you wreck your truck!

I bought a '64 gmc burb a couple weeks ago. It's going to be a low budget driver for next spring. My first order of biz was dropping it a bit so last weekend I cut 1.5 coils out of the front and removed 4 leaves out of the rear. It sat nice but I wanted a little more rake so I pulled it apart again today to cut another 1/4 coil out and remove the bump stops. I'm glad I did because when I went to pull the lca I noticed one of the u bolts was missing a nut and the other u bolt both nuts were finger loose! I could easily wiggle the whole lca fore and aft. This would probably explain the clunk I had been hearing while rolling and steering at low speeds. The u bolt that was missing a nut seems to have been pretty distorted over time. See picture.

Does anyone have a spare lower control arm u bolt they want to donate to my suburban? I'll gladly pay postage.

Pictures to come
