Now don't go picking on the HR person -
just trying to make a point, like your "winners never quit"

If you ever been to a fancy built/decorated casino
you'll know losers never quit either.

i have to make fun of them because they have no idea what safety is all about. i do understand safety and proper use of tools and such but there is alot more than just that. i have been told to violate fire safety requirements just because of convenience. but they use what they call safety to bring convenience. did i do it?? NOPE.

OH, and you gotta love the safety films that go along with many jobs. What a joke they are. I used to work High Rise office bulding construction hanging drywall and framing with metal studs. On the 30th floor or higher handling 1 inch thick core board in 16 ft lengths from a scaffold plank, yes, A as in 1 plank. You got the weight of you, the weight of your tools, and the weight of a 16ft sheet 1 inch think sheet of drywall in an elevator shaft. 1 foot on the plank, and kick it and hold the sheet the wall with the other foot, and one hand on the sheet, then the other hand to use your screw gun which was attatched to a cord always pulling on your tool belt. You think we had a safety line incase the plank broke or we lost our balance. Not even close. You want to talk about a pucker factor !!! But thats the safety police at work for you. I was lucky, I know of ONLY one guy that died falling. He only fell 4 floors and it was in a stairwell doing basically the same thing. He didn't feel no pain. Not for very long anyway. His eyes were already rolled back in his head, and mouth, nose and ears gushing blood byt the time someone got to him just seconds later.

Hey Bamer, how you doing on this project? Any more questions? Have you found an A arm yet?

LMC Truck has them. I'm getting an error at the moment when trying to access the section for 1984 trucks, but for 88+ models, its about $269.

Please do not buy a contol arm from lmc. Their parts all come from china.I noticed you are from Vegas, there are plenty of good salvage yards in that vicinity and rust free too. Plus if the truck is from that area originally you can probably take it apart with hand tools. I can say that after living in michigan most of my life , it is no fun trying to disassemble anything that has seen even one Mi. winter. Good luck and be safe!
