Hello, I'm considering putting a ball-joint front suspension from a '68 or later bus on my '67. Several people have told me they're 99% sure it's a bolt-on. My questions are: 1. Does anybody have reason to believe it ISN'T a bolt-on (I'd like to hear other people's horror stories before having more of my own) 2. Where can I get such a front suspension in the Northeast? I'm unemployed so I'm poor (and thus can't afford the $300 that a new king pin set cost back when they were available, which they aren't), but I have lots of free time so if it actually takes a little cutting/welding I have nothing better to do... Most of my local junkyards crush buses on sight, since they're all rust buckets (not that mine isn't...). Thanks, John
