A magical thing happened

My pitman arm nut came right off without heat cussing or attack by five foot steel bars haha

My old steering box came out no problems like I have seen before.
I put in the new one I had went through and sealed and painted up.
I rebuilt the drag link and its all painted and installed.
Inner and outer fenders replaced.
The column is bolted to the dash and all the slop is gone.
Its like a new truck now.

STOP!!!!!!!

Don't drive that truck any farther!!!! Your life may be in danger!

You can't possibly replace all that stuff so easily. Murphy will demand his penance, he must be appeased.
If things indeed went that smoohtly then something else must be ready to fall apart...a wheel flying off while driving down the highway, the front bearing on the tranny shelling out and destroying the clutch, back glass popping out, all the bolts holding the right front fender fall off at one time and you get to watch as it sails off and falls under a semi................anything


LOL... just kidding. Congrats on getting the steering put back together

Bobby

How can you do all that without losing part of your Sunday School training?? Sounds promising, but go slow, something might just LEAP on you.
Best of luck, keep it rolling
