Re: 1978 Russet Metallic 4x4

Time for some updates.

The kids are getting bigger, so time to swap the low hanging modified steps for a set of original height, refreshed GM accessory steps. Here are the used ones as I'm dropping them off to get powdercoated.



There. Better.



Then I spent time pulling the steering column apart to tighten things up and to swap out the cruise multi function lever for a non-cruise version.



I replaced the front output flange for the NP203 to address a small forever leak.



And then finally, I installed ORDs Sway Bar kit for Crossover Steering.



I'm so happy to eliminate the annoying lean at every turn. It gets old.

A little side note. I'm beginning the process of preparing this thing for some new adventures. Our initial run will be next summer into Montana. I have a buddy with a Squarebody Suburban that's driving along with us.

I still have a traction bar I want to install, need to tune the shift points on the TH350, add new tires and play with a few odds-and-ends. This truck continues to amaze.
