Should I Replace or Restore

[davbell22602]

Should I just replace the whole front suspension or just restore and replace with new bushings? Also should just replace the brakes also since I got all new brake parts to go inside the drum or restore the old drum if it can be reused. I'm talking about rust removal, purple power deruster, then painting on all parts. I would use a paint/rust stripper wire brush on a angle grinder. This on a 67 F100 2wd.

I would restore.

Thats what I was thinking on to just restore and buy new bushings for everything. Sometimes its better to restore whats there compared to the quality of parts that are coming off the assembly line right now.

So, what is the progress update on this truck?

You have posted quite a few things, for quite a while. I know you were painting the engine, and trying to figure out hood stuff.

Did you already complete all that?

I was til spring came and everyone wanted to fix there lawnmower or wanted to buy a used one. Plus repainting engine block and covers went on hold til I got chance to buy a paint/rust stripper wire brush for the angle grinder. Finally got a chance to buy one yesterday so I'm back repainting stuff as of tomorrow. Calling for rain all week. Good week to paint in the evening after school.

So, nothing really. I hope the resto on the rusty parts goes well.

If the pieces aren't pitted, rebuild.

When painting the suspension parts I was thinking Rustoleum Flat Black. What you guys think?
