Little by Little
Last year I replaced the front wheel bearings on my`72 K2500 because one was bad.It`s had a good bit of free-play since I bought it.There was still verticle play so this summer I replaced the ball joints.It still has free-play in the steering so I checked while someone turned the wheel.The sector shaft has play at the bushing where it comes out of the box.Time for a rebuild or new steering gear.I decided to use one I`ve had around for a good while.I ordered it for a truck that I was going to do a ground-up like-new resto on that never happened.So...it`s going on my driver.
  The blue truck I sold last summer had all the front end and brakes tip-top.This one has always needed alot of work in those areas because when I bought the blue one it needed everything just to be driveable.So,it went ahead of the GMC.I did the front brakes,master cyl,and booster when I did the front bearings.I just did the rear brakes back in the spring.So,little by little I`ll have this thing trackin`straight and stoppin`square. Next,springs and shocks,then tires.
