Sorry David you old GM guy, I must have miss read your reply, dyslexia you know.
And DavidF, na, toe in is right, did all of that when I rebuilt the front end. You can see how the wheel returns also how easy it is to steer in turns. Around 16k on the Cooper tires and they don't show any wear at all. I think part of it might be expecting to much from the old gal considering she's still got the beam axle and beefy springs in the rear. I've ridden in several 1/2-ton AD's and they ride a lot smoother than this one. Never had the pleasure of taking a turn in any other stock 3/4-ton, at least, not recently. I'm jealous of Gus and the fine video's he's been posting, it is the best way to tell it like it is. So Gus, you're responsible for pushing me into the moving pictures. Now, I'm no videographer and the sound pickup is lousy in a 10 year old Easy Share Kodak camera, and the solid mount I welded up for the back of the seat shakes a bit, but this little clip, does give you a little better feel of how she rides and handles, at least a little better than I can describe in words. So jump in and take a ride around the block with me:
And again, great job on that truck of yours Dave, love that blue. And from reading your gallery entry, I think you're very honest and realistic about the cost of investment and return. I still don't see how you guys can get those projects finished up in a couple of years or less. I'm pushin' ten right now and I'm a long way from finished. Still got the dash in a couple of experimental colors, as it the out side, although the Red/White and blue was appropriate for this weekend.
