AWESOME!!! Sure appreciate the link DPowers!!! I called them this morning but unfortunately they are closed on the weekends, but I left a msg and hope to hear back from them on monday. The did have a listing online for complete rebuilt column for $575, but the ol' lady kinda threw a fit... Their page showed that they will have parts available online soon, so hoping I can sort something out with them, possibly a whole kit, or find a way to itemize just the parts I need.

Thanks again man, that is what I have been looking for!! Outstanding!!

pretty sure do to abuse this piece is trash.. and hopefully I can get a replacement thru Dpowers link.





Not sure what to think here, it appears bent, but not sure if this is supposed to be bent, or if this happened from abuse...




this pic also shows a broken shim, and the little white pieces are some sort of tube guide/shims that have worn down over the years.



MY thinking is, adding up all the play, and slop from these worn and broken components are adding up to ALOT of play near the bottom of the column where it counts.

So if I am able to acquire all the little pieces needed, the ol truck should be back on the road here shortly!!


Thanks again for the help guys!
