today i painted the other side of the draglinks and tie rod, then i took my stearing box appart, and clean it some , found out it had a tab welded on the box , so i shoveled a little to get to see the box on my other truck and it was te same exxcept the tab was welded all crooked, so i decided to keep it as it make the box more sturdy and no crak are showing on the casing, must have been a modification by the army, since i found a tag on the box that said it had been rebuilt in september 74 by a mj..., then when i went to install the drag link i found out my new clip where to short ,so i will have to hunt down some proper one..
anyway here are a few pics!
