My '37 has everything new on the front end, springs, shocks ( tube type ), king pins, tie-rods, etc....... It drives as good as my '03 Toyota, I have to work a little to park at very slow speeds, but's still no problem. Your truck will drive pretty easy once rebuilt, especially if you get the steering box adjusted and lubricated. Mine has disk brakes on stock spindles, it might not have that if I could have figured a way to but drum brakes with matching bolt pattern to the rear. You won't need disk if the originals are right. The original setup has lasted 70 years, you think the modern add-ons will?
