Hey guys,finally got the body bolted back on the frame of my 70 monte project. getting ready to rehang the doors so I can repair 1/4s.Not sure how much I will need to cut out so I figured better hang the doors for a guide . I have doors that the hinges have been completly removed ,any tricks on were to start with the hinge position and alignment? any advice greatly appreciated!

need advice on replacemant or redying and gluing carpet to door pannels. thanks

need advice on replacemant or redying and gluing carpet to door pannels. thanks

thanks guys I,m hoping thats the problem ,the frame is on jackstands with no weight on the frame and the rearend is sorta just hanging by the upper and lower trailing arms no motor ,tranny or driveshaft

Trying to install rear shocks on my 70 ss, been a long time since old ones were removed .Looks like there are 2 locations for the bottom bolt tryed both but seems like the rear end is to far forward .The top mounting location puts the shock at a bind and sever angle. I do have my frame off the car on jack stands with no weight on the frame not sure if that. makes a dif or not. any advice appreciated thanks

So to be clear, I could order a steering box for a 83-87 monte from the parts store like auto zone and it would be a correct with quick ratio?

thanks for the good info ,trying to decide to replace my orig. witch is a ss 454 1970 or go with a jeep gear box . I thought someone said the ss big block cars had different boxes than the regular montes.

anyone used the 93-97 grand cherokee box for there 1stgen montes? if so part numbers etc. thanks

Not sure if it was on this site ,someone was rebuilding these hoping to find him . help appreciated.

Replacing front end components with new moog parts does anyone know torque specs for 70 monte 454 ball joints tierod ends etc. Ive read on team chevelle 1969 50 ft lbs ??

Wow ,thanks for the wealth of info ,really helps .I find it crazy that summit and jegs say that spring isolators are needed in front top of the spring ,wasted over a hour yesterday on the phone trying to find a answer. I should have posted here first,nothing like experience . These sights would have been handy 30 years ago when you had to find your answere in a motors manual . Once again great info . Thanks to everyone

yes

Ok another perdicumant , went to install front springs with isolators ,the isolators dont look like there the correct size for the spring that came out of the car .S ummit says they are the correct isolators. anyone know the correct diameter and length of stock coil spring for the front of 70 ss 454? thinking mabey someone switched springs back in the day.Also dont remember any isolators that were there when I took the springs out.

thanks to everyone

looking for advice on coil springs for rear of my 70ss 454 restore. summit says moog 5379 is stock hieght.I would like a little space between the to[p of the tire and fender,any input on this greatly appreciated.

what is a hockey stick?

changing balljoints and bushings for my 7o ss 454 wondering if I need to replace a arm shafts , was told from someone once should replace with offset shafts. any input appreciated

what brand did you use?

what do you guys think of tubular a arms? I was told with tubular you should get taaller upper ,ball joints for better handling , has anyone any experiance with this?

anyone have experience with polyurethane bushings? trying to make a choice between polyurathane and regular rubber for my 70 monte. Talked to jegs they have a complete bushing set with every bushing for the car even trans mount and trailing arms, however it doesnt contain the 2 extra bushings that are needed for the ones by the firewall. cant seem to find a complete set for a monte.

intresting a lot to takein i was talking to a sles rep at jegs he said to go with 1 inch lowering coil springs and billstien shocks for a lower center of gravity ,wiich would add great handling. I do like the ride hieght up all the way around though, torn on what to do..Any input appreciated. thanks
