Steering on these trucks has a tendency to be sloppy. Steering box may need replaced, but first check the steering rag joint, sometimes that's the culprit.

I agree with everything scottscott said, except for the part about groping the girlfriend. Think back when you were younger, guys. What could be more cool than driving around in a '70's 4X4 with your girlfriend sitting next to you on the bench seat? That's what the center seat belt is for!
The main problem with teenage drivers these days is that they are way too obsessed with their cell phones.

Same goes for front turn signals, high quality LED lighting for maximum visibility..

if your anywhere it snows led isnt a improvement, as they get covered with snow, incandesent bulbs generate enough heat to keep the lenses clear.
