worked more on the steering. cleaned and painted and even the little lady helped out again ;0) she's the best!

trying to take it slow, cause i am broke and need it to last alittle longer. tough times call for tough measures. ;0)

don't know if i am going to mess with the steering box or not. the manual seems like it is very detailed, but there seems to be alot of things that will need to be done to put it back together right. like using that spring dial to measure the lbs. it takes to turn etc....which i can't do at this point and i don't have one of those either.

the box doesn't seem to be in bad shape. the seals seem okay, so i thought maybe i would just drain it and replace the fluid and put it back. i did mark which bolt hole the bolt that had the extra shim on it went to to get it right on the frame. i see the manual talks about that. funny thing is it is just and extra washer is all.

so, say i leave the steering box alone...what type of fluid should i put back in it? just motor/gear oil?? or powersteering fluid? or ???

thanks and enjoy the pics.

Hank
