Default 1969 Upper Control Arm Ball Joint Rivets.

Can anyone please educate me or find me a previous thread on proper protocal for installing factory G.M. upper control arm ball joint rivets. I am restoring a set for a 1969 Chevelle and have heard a lot of different stories of how they were pressed in. Thanks guys

Dan

Yes Darren.... it is. This may very well be a one of one 1969 Daytona Yellow 300 Deluxe SS Post Sedan with L89. It`s very close to getting paint, I`ll be sure to post pics soon.
