Hi,
New to the forum Here are some pics of my new truck.
First plans are power steering and brakes.
I m told it is a 302 with a c4 trans please correct me if wrong
Also what rear end is this please?
Any suggestions welcome.
It wanders a bit so I want to look at the castor and possibly draglink angle but not sure how to change that.
Of course Ill look at any worn stuff too.

Thanks a lot, I have already learned a lot from this site. I am quite mechanical, having built my own Harleys for years but trucks are a new world of terminology i am getting to grips with.

I want to keep it pretty much as it is, just get it driving as well as it can and use it everyday.

I am sure there are some body issues lurking under the primer but it seems fairly solid. Floors seem ok but i suspect step corners and cab corners.

I really don't know too much about it

I have just learned the leading edge of the roof can be a problem on these too.

Ah well she will be arriving at my place next week so the work starts then.

I will be asking many questions soon,hopefully none too foolish.
