MUST DO upgrades for your classic truck rebuild!

Looking to add some safety to your squarebody build? Don't forget to check out my website for roll cages, seat brackets and other killer upgrades! https://www.merricksgarage.com/collections/frontpage I have been building these trucks for years and years and like to think I have made pretty much every mistake out there. In this weeks video I install crossover steering and a new steering box and knuckle on this beautiful 1978 Blazer. If you have a squarebody or old truck you are looking to restore, I highly suggest you start with the steering. It will make a substantial difference. Here are all the parts used in the build: https://www.offroaddesign.com/merrick.html https://www.kchilites.com/gravity-led-7-headlight-dot-jeep-jk-07-17-pr-kc-42351.html https://www.lmctruck.com 38-8088 DASH BEZEL-W/O AC 36-4041 WIPER ARM-BLACK 2 REQ 36-4054- WIPER MOTOR W/PUMP 30-1160 GROMMET-WIPER MOTOR A/R 36-4078 WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP 36-4091 WINDSHIELD WASHER JAR 36-4095 WASHER JAR CAP 30-1990 FILTER-WIPER WASHER JAR 36-4070 WINDSHIELD WASHER HOSE 30-1365 RETAINER-WASHER HOSE 36-4044 WIPER LINK ASSEMBLY 1 REQ 37-0387 LED TAIL LIGHT SET-W/TRIM 37-4590 CUSTOM PARKLIGHT SET 38-4133 GRILLE-GRAY 40-0408-C SCREW 30-0815 ANCHOR NUT-NYLON 30-1112 SCREW-MOLDING-BLACK https://www.patreon.com/merricksgarage Gear, merch, and parts all over on https://www.merricksgarage.com If there is some item or product you saw in this video, it is more than likely to be found in either my Amazon Store or if it is a Milwaukee Tool over on Acme Tools https://www.amazon.com/shop/jwmerrick https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=636038&u=2122990&m=54029&urllink=&afftrack= Daily updates on the Instagram: http://bit.ly/MerricksGarageInstagram Link to the seat bracket mounts for late model GM third row for your Blazer! https://www.merricksgarage.com/new-products/late-model-gm-third-row-seat-bracket
