My buddy Chip came up in his cool old wagon and installed a new rag joint. Chip is a wealth of know how and ability on old cars and trucks. The 48 year old original rag joint was really shot and a little horrifying to look at considering how many miles I recently put on it. Easy 50% improvement in steering efficiency. New front shocks and an oil filter conversion completed the day. It was 110 here in Scottsdale. Hot day to be under the truck for 5 hours. Tomorrow it gets a tune-up and some new parts on the top end.





I like the handbrake right there! Wish mine was stickshift
