I found them off a link in a different trans thread in the 7.3 section today. Already shipped today. Gotta like that for initial customer service.

I don't think you could pay me enough to have a garage sale...just sayin

Well that does sound like good customer service! Hope it is that way down the road if you ever need anything!

Yeah she is having the sale with a friend and it is at her place so that is good. All I really had to do was haul boxes over and setup tables than I got the heck outta there!

Yeah it is not my cup of tea at all. I will help setup but when it comes time for the sale that would seem like a great time to wash and wax my truck!!!

Good Morning Steve and everyone else!

I bought another truck yesterday. It's fairly competent. However, it's gonna require some attention to the steering components.

First, to obtain shop manuals/Chiltons/Hayes

Next, figure out what this truck has for steering. Seems like rubber bands.

It's an 84 F-350 Chassis Cab Dually.

I'll likely replace the bed with a different shop made flatbed.
