I talked with my Grandpa about it back when he gave it to me.. and was having a chat with my uncle and cousin about it a couple weekends ago.... what everyone has mentioned is that at about 35 the truck does a 90 degree turn to the right... straight into the ditch. My uncle changed axles... did the perches on the suspension... but it still does it.
Any thoughts? I have to lift it up to see the condition of the tie rods which I am sure I will have to rebuild... but what about power steering? I think I am going to drop a 235 in it as I want the option to be able to drive it daily... so I want to keep somewhat stock.... | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | I'd make sure the tires are good and the wheels not bent.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 38 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 38 | hmmmm, could be the wheels.... hopefully I can get them straightened if they are bad!

You'll be doing at least some of your own design work to convert.
