Thanks mate I am pleased with the progress. Although it has probably taken me 5 times as long as it would you and Marky with my limited skills :laugh:

But it has been a good learning curve and I am glad I did it rather than buying a truck all done, even if it has cost me three times as much :)

Yeah definitely I would. I am quite anal when it comes to detail :)

Before modding it I removed every bit of rust by grinding back to bare metal then using rust converter to make sure. Followed by 2 coats of epoxy mastic paint and a spray with dinitrol underbody wax with dinitrol cavity wax for the box sections etc.

If I am spending all this money I want it to last.

looks like an incorrect pitman arm if it was the right one why would it be longer(as in further out from the steering box) then the original? that would be changing how the steering works IE turn the wheel further before lock.

whose pitman are is it?
