Re: Driver on a budget.
We didn't get nearly as much snow as they predicted so it wasn't too bad. I like that picture though.
I wasn't going to keep posting after I turned my truck into a daily, but I made possibly the best mod after fuel injection today. Last week I cut the metal part of the bump stops off so I wouldn't bottom and did the caster mod. It rode better but still drove like a 40 year old truck with worn out steering. Today I put on a remanufactured steering box from a 73, new pitman arm and rebuilt the rag joint. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! It drives like a sports car now. Don't even think about putting the original box back on your truck.
DO use a rebuilt box from 73 up. Better ratio, fresh and only 125 from most parts stores.
DO rebuild the rag joint. Cheap and easy
DO replace the pitman arm. Yours is 40 years old and new ones are cheap.
DO the caster mod. You probably have the arms torn off anyway.
I can't say what made the biggest difference, but together they are HUGE!!!!
