howto on rebuilding 62-67 front spring perches

Takes some tools and skill, but...looks pretty slick.

Nice link Patman! The bearings were installed very nicely. Not sure how easy it would be with out the use of a lathe.

I remember years ago I rebuilt mine with global west rebuild kit. I got one right, screwed up the 2nd one and wound up buying a rebuilt unit. Now they're sitting in a box in my attic cuz I went to a coil over shock.

Hmm I could be wrong...either they discontinued them or maybe I got them from somewhere else. Anyways next time I'll just by them redone.:D

Mind you I did this wayyyy back in the late 80's early 90's.

Cool link. Can the bearings really stand up to the load that it will be exposed to long term? When I rebuilt my front end I noticed that my spring perch shafts were threaded would this conversion benefit this design.
