Re: Project "River Truck" - CCLB 4x4

I've been working on several truck projects this week and I figured it was time to update the build thread.

Apparently the truck has had a power steering leak for a long time.... It had a super thick coating of dirt and power steering fluid caked on the axle and steering components. I scraped it off, used degreaser and a power washer and most of the grime is off now. After that I was able to figure out that the steering box is leaking at it's input. It sounds like this is a fairly common problem. I haven't fix it yet. After the cleaning I greased all of the steering joints and found a broken grease zerk on the underside of the Dana 60 drivers side kingpin. Luckily it came out pretty easily with a screw extractor and I had a new one to replace it with.
