GMT400 Front End Rebuild (Part 3) #ETCGDadsTruck
This video series will cover the complete rebuild of the front suspension, steering, and brakes on a GMT400 2WD truck. These trucks ran from 1988-1998.
This installment covers the installation of the front suspension, sort of. There are some parts issues. Also, I hope you’re able to learn from my mistakes. 😉
This is (Episode 12) of the #ETCGDadsTruck Series.
