Well, all that stuff is still not quite done yet. I have about 20 things on my list of things to do. Got it up in the air last night to check out everything underneath. Things didn't quite look right on the pass. side steering knuckle. I shook the wheel and it moved side to side about 1"!!!
Today I took the steering assembly off of the front end. It uses 3/4" grade 8 bolts everywhere and the one on that side was really bent! It must have taken a shot at some point. Fortunately the steering knuckle appears to be good enough to keep on using. It did bend a bit, but I'm gonna roll the dice. Gonna modify the steering linkage and put the tie rod under the knuckle.
