Its always fun to know the back story on these trucks, wish I knew where my 72 spent the bulk of its life...

This week i got the 79 steering box rebuilt. It took a whole 45 min to take apart and put back together. I fabed a bacing plate out of 3/8 and put slugs behind it also you can see in the pics i had to notch the frame i tacked a plate up in the notch. Everything is tacked in i will finish weld it all when i tear the truck down.
