Larry found those bolts on our 78 GMC in need of snugging up a little. ( Thanks so much for checking Larry ) Never thought that those BJ had ever been replaced with 74,000 on the clock. So I went looking in the log book. Replaced at 38,000 miles. And there are no other front end parts replaced. As to the 1 ton. I never disagree with Ken Henderson. But I have a different OPPINION on the I ton. Reasons. It puts a heavier load on the torsion bars, and related attacked supports. Doesn't have standard SAE A frame geometry. As to the lifetime lubed bearing. That lifetime stands until the bearing fails. Thus you can't spend the 50 cents in grease that 1 ton bearing. Many GMC owners have never greased their original bearing. The original can be lubed at your choice. When the 1 ton bearing fails. You need to go buy the entire wheel bearing assembly. The original bearings in my 39 year old GMC have never been greased till now. I'll stick with what GM did.
