That looks like it will work just fine. Think I would throw some paint on the bare metal parts, so you will be able to tell if it is getting scrubbed off.

Nope they have no problem rusting I gotta do something with the hood and the top before it's a hoodless convertable


After heati g remivi g and antiseizing thd tierod you should see how easy they turn, straightening the wheels shouldn't be a problem, I was only able to get one set of two, of the universal tierod dust boots the other set for the other side I'll pick up this afternoon., put the other tie rod back on grease the whole thing (again) and start on straightening the wheels out

Y'all are gonna love this, Friday I took it to Colony Tire in Ahoskie for an alignment, (before I started the alignment thread and got the downloads) anyway they couldn't do the alignment because the Pittman was flopping around and a nut on the tire rod just turns, well, COLONY TIRE IN AHOSKIE REMOVED THE SPACER WASHER FROM MY TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!, I'm assuming so they wouldn't have to align a old vehicle that they probably don't have the combined iq power to figure out, but THAT IS WHY I DO ALL MY OWN WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
if I cant fix it I sell it
DO NOT go to Colony Tire in Ahoskie, the others might be ok but a mechanic at the Ahoskie one sucks
