Re: '59 4x4 Build
I took the truck out for a drive across town and found the steering was wandering and hard to keep straight. I went to a shop where some friends work on their project cars on weekends. That's where I discovered the shackles on the front springs were at the wrong end, making the caster negative. (Done by the previous owner) I swapped the springs around to put the shackles at the rear and it steers much better. I also found a loose ball joint and tie rod end, so replaced them.
I've been busy with other projects, but will get to finishing the interior soon.
