I bought the parts that I could order.... Going to put together and see how much play is in the existing ball joint. It seems fairly tight, but my father says it will show wear after I start driving. I guess I'll see how it goes, and still may have to buy the $250.00 drag link anyway? I will hopefully be putting my front end back together this weekend. BTW, how did the attachment of the brackets go?

I know mines shot, you can hold the drag link out & shake the ball in the joint back and forth. I just put the truck up on stands yesterday to get ready to do some work, including the brackets. Hopefully they'll be on soon.

I was goofing around looking for something else and found this:
NAPA AUTO PARTS
Maybe cheaper, maybe not. I can't get the site to load my location to find a price.

This one maybe? The part number does match and these things are usually interchangeable with previous years and it's $120.00
