Hi Ron. Your drag link is adjustable, but check the spring in it to make sure it is not broken. Rebuild kits are available quite cheap. Just picked up a '48 Loadmaster out of Montana in March with absolutely NO rust and 18,000 original miles. Picked it up it WA, jumped in, turned the key, started it, and on my way back to BC without a hitch. Even 60 year old tires on the front!! Absoleultey orginal, no resto. Came through a snowstorm in Seattle for an hour and the heater kept it warm and windows defrosted and vaccuum wipers kept the window clear. I am amazed at this truck. Because it has to be inspected in BC for insurance I replaced king pins and tie rods although they were only slightly worn. The truck is solid, I have POR15 the frame and undercoated the cab because of the coastal weather we have here and am painting the inside of the cab. Am going to send in pictures soon to share this find. Enjoy your truck, I know I am. The dump will come in handy, too. Thanks.
