Mike,

I think you missed a spot, see, right there by the passenger side steering arm....see....

Just kidding, Wow! That is an incredible level of detail your putting into this truck.

Holy smokes

Thanks for the compliments. I figured if it was going to be disassembled anyway, I might as well clean everything and make it look good.
I pressed and reamed the bushings yesterday with FOMOCO tools I found on ebay, and the kingpins slid in perfectly. Can't wait to feel the difference on the road.
Mike
