Thanks Harvester.
The parts will be in tuesday from Classic car parts...I went with the rotary not ball wheel bearings, etc. Installation on it weds.
I taped this whole posting to the dashboard, which prompted my mechanic ( and friend) to laugh in my face since he's been working on older cars for 20 years.
He promised to check out everything under the truck. I'll check back and let everyone know the results.
