ok i dont know which way i want to go on Ibeams

Post by 69rangerf100 »

ok i pulled a 73 front disk setup and the king pin size matches my 69 king pin set. the 73 beams are ready to be painted but i want to try and use the 69 beam my issue is i dont have any extra money right now to have them pressed out. if i go with the 73 beam i can get the truck to a rolling chassis faster. what do you guys think.
