So I'm replacing both front shackles on the truck. Ordered a new set from ATS. My question is, the current bushings look like the first pic. The new bushings look like the second pic. Is it a problem that the new bushings do not have the lip around the edge and might even be a tad bit skinnier...
Today I finally got some puttin together done! Water pump with felpro gasket and fan installed. Started working on the shackles but having trouble getting the old bushings out. Don't have work tomorrow morning so I should get some good work in on her!

It would end up TOTALY being worth the drive. You would leave here with 2 new slick bumpers, major tuneup on entire drive train, CLEAN and SHINY body... The works man!

Bring her by! @Thewespaul and I are more than willing! Got an order of pads in for my buffer too. So after I finish getting her back together with the new parts I'm gonna go crazy on the body work. I used to be really in to buffing and such but have gotten lazy over the past few years. But this...

I like those. I was recently in an a accident with my truck [emoji24] so I already got new headlight housings but now I need bulbs. Ill probably order these!

Does anybody happen to know what size bolts are needed to secure the water pump? Gonna be heading over to a friend's shop today after work to put the water pump on my truck that I'm fixing after the wreck. Problem is it needs new hardware and I don't feel like driving all the way out there...
So today was productive... After many calls and talking to people, the insurance is going to leave her as a clean title AND pay for repairs and extra!

Headlights, shackles, and radiator were delivered! Gonna order a new hood, condenser, and intercooler if I can swing it tomorrow!

Going off of what jasper said... Would it be beneficial to wrap the exhaust manifold, downpipe, etc. With heat wraps?

Mine just hit 250k. Bed is perfect and tailgate isn't far behind. Really the only part of the body that doesn't look extremely good for its age is the roof... Previous owner was a hack and instead of getting rust off the right way he put epoxy over it lol. But I can cut that spot out and weld in...
New front end shackles were delivered. So on rockauto it's would be $386 for every single part brand new to fix her from the accident. Goes to show how stupid insurance people can be. And to repair EVERYTHING as far as aesthetics on her would be about $550. Lol people....
