That's striaght-up 80's engineering there, no TTB's in the 70's bud.

Two things I'll never understand. Leaf-sprung TTB, and that Y steering on a solid axle. If someone has an answer to either of those, I'm listening. I fixed the Y steering on my 76 easily enough with 79 links, weird part is the TRE's are bigger, so they dont fit the backspace of my winter wheels.

I think that would act like a three year old at the toys r us checkout line after they figured out you didn't get that wiggles doll. That's what I think. Jumping up and down, flopping on the ground, flinging arms from side to side.

Yeah, I know. Mine still handles like crap. I meant that steering is angled pretty steep like that. I can only imagine that the TTB makes it even worse.
