So how do you guys align the front of these things if it is always sittin at a different height I bought mine done already but I had a 86 C-10 and a 92 S-10 that i dropped myself and they aligned up good but this one they have got at least an inch and a half of shims and spacers in it and I cant keep it tight and this just aint right

HEAT ROCKS!!

73-87 chevys are bad for having tons of shims on the uppers as far as keeping alignment i had mine aligned when i 4/5 dropped it static then a year later put it on air modded my lowers had everything apart put everything back and still had perfect alignment @ ride height other wise you get pos and neg camber and im not sure why you can keep them tight the uppers dont put much strees on the nuts should keep good pressure againts the shims at all times

actually there was 2 c10s. both guage clusters were out of it but in the truck somewhere. the one was still in the bolted location just the face was off of it and the oil guage removed.

the first one i found was smashed in the bed of the truck and by the looks of it was ****in perfect. the 3 left circle guages were inside the truck on the seat. the oil guage was sitting on the seat it doesnt look damages but when i was holding it the needle would spin in a full circle if i just rolled it in my hand thought it was wierd so i put it down. looked on lmc and it says 50 bucks for each of the little guages. so i can grab the guage pod and through those other single guages in my pocket and get it for ya. im in clearwater florida so figure what it would be to ship it to ya. its probaly around 5lbs. i can ship with whoevever ya want if ya want me to crab it.
