progress report and a question ('71 F100)

Hello all. Well I have done some engine work (intake up), replaced the front end (control arm bushings, entire tie rod assembly with center link, shocks, etc.), replaced the exhaust system and am now beginning to move backward in the power chain (u-joints, rear end, etc.).

Even though I don't have enough resources to do this quickly it is becoming a fun project. Thank all of you guys for answering my silly questions when I have them.

I have one now actually, there seem to be some kind of power steering leak that I cannot find. I can see it dripping (drip, drip, drip), but I cannot see where it begins. I think it is somewhere near the steering box, but am not sure. Has anyone else had this problem? Will keep you posted. As I get to the point where I start sanding a and painting the frame and rebuilding the engine, I will start taking pictures. Thanks, Lloyd. Oh, one more thing, thanks TKONO for putting up with me online.

What I do when I cannot find a leak immediatly or it is not obvious where it is coming from is to clean, clean, clean. Then you can tell where it is leaking. I keep my engine clean anyway so finding the origin of a leak is usually easy.
