    The arms are 1" DOM 3/16" wall. The balljoints are Moog K772. Thats the part number. I got them when I worked at a parts store, and they were like $10 each. Speedway Motors carries them and the sleeves you need for them.

    Laid down the seam sealer this morning. Once it dried I laid down some sound deadener. I like Fat Mat a lot better than Second Skin. Its easier to work with.

    Once I put the roof back on I'll do the underside of that too.

    It was pretty messed up. Had some crazy dents across the front, and a bad flat spot in the back. My body guy said it was possibly fixable, but it would have a lot of glass and filler. So I found a donor truck with a perfect roof and cut it off. I'm doing a transplant.

    Thanks man.

    Its Fat Mat. Works as both. Mainly sound deadener. Goign to do the inside of the doors, and the underside of the roof, and put whatever is left over whats on the floor.
