Oh yea, I was gonna post tonight about where to get a steering box rebuild kit, or cheap rebuilts, but im not doing cab mounts, steering box, ball joints, front axle joints, and redoing the body once again cuz i know the salt will kill the body again this year. Im just gonna get a lifted, rusted, 70s truck and enjoy not washing and waxing it. Oh, and paying about $1300 less a year for insurance.
Its not a bad looking or driving truck....but I'm tired of seeing bad stuff happen to it!

Still makes my truck look like the most rotted out civic you can think of...

Gotta get it fixed, then coat it with something like POR-15 to keep the cancer from coming back...

Oops. That sucks. Did that to my underhood wire looms not long ago - I had to replace everything because I touched it and it crumbled. Not fun. I won't mention that we don't get rust in the CA valley... but A/C is a pain!

My A/C works fine! I dont have the belt on to save on a little gas though, and I like driving with my windows down!
