WOW What a handling differance. Thanks to this forum
After a long rebuilding journey ... I started to drive my C10 a couple years ago but ... it never handled right and the turning was worse than a tractor. A couple weeks ago I posted a picture of my front end ... and right off the bat I was informed my Centrelink was on backwards.
Today I picked up my truck as I had some work, I wanted done on it ... they did reverse the Centrelink and all I can say is wow wow wow! I now have full turning and the steering and handling is so much better. I was cruising at 65mph and it handled like a new truck, Even Bo the service tech was surprised at the difference it made. Short story... this forum is a home run when it comes to getting info and help on these trucks. Again I appreciate all the helpful suggestions on steering  me in the right direction. Thanks Again !!!

Op, if you have not, adding a front sway bar really helps the cornering. I have the 1 1/4" one from CPP. My truck did not have one originally

Super! Glad you got fixed up and are enjoying the ride more.
The front sway bar is on my short list as well. Probably another winter project.
