Brought "Rusty" home yesterday...

[low'n slow]

I "won" a 70 Jimmy on Evilbay last year. My wife had me hide it in a friend's garage as we were trying to sell the house. We moved around and ended up in Las Cruces. My 14 y.o. son & I drove a rental car 600 miles Thursday night, got a few hours sleep and drove the Jimmy home.

No power steering, no power drum brakes, 35-40 mile an hour crosswinds, I was pretty tired and tense when I got home. It would change lanes without warning! There are probably some steering geometry issues involved.

I want to upgrade to power steering and disc brakes. Would it be worth the extra effort and money to do the cross steer conversion while I'm at it? I don't want to do a "bigger Blazer" like VT's, and probably won't do much of a lift.

I just want a good handling rig that I can take off road.

Oh, it really is rusty. There is a stack of 2X8's laying in the torsion box to keep the floor level.

Thanks,
Doug
