Only thing to look for that I remember is the difference in the drag-link ends(from steering box to steering arm at wheel)
There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!
