Re: rant: stupid po's
with that much play, sounds like the upper column bearing is missing

Re: rant: stupid po's
PO of my truck tore it down all the way and was getting ready to put it on a later model 4x4 frame. That wouldn't have been a bad thing except he was going to hop it up and make it an off road trail truck. Can you imagine the damage that woulda been done. This truck is about 90% rust free. Not bad for a 1968 model in southern Illinois. At least I don't have to do the tear down I just have to figure out how it all goes back together.
