Man your fb post on this was a show. 45 people answering stuff you didn’t ask, 4 telling you what you already knew. Not sure of much came from that one

That went about as well as I expected. I enjoyed the people who were adamant that I had the components in the wrong places and linked pictures of it being assembled the exact same way as I was trying to.

Replacement tie rod showed up, and yup, they put the wrong ball/stud in it:
Last time it will be like this: Got the rear out: I broke one upper shock bolt and another went round. Otherwise it all came out reasonably okay. Also the exhaust fell apart, so I ordered some Walker replacement.

Front out:
New steering box to go in, the old one leaked like a sieve:
Committed to this now :
Lots more to do as far as cutting off and cleaning up the brackets and frame. I think I'm going to weld the new control arm brackets on because the frame honestly could use some more substantive reinforcement due to rust damage. I will have to evaluate that more when I get that far.
As usual, super slow progress.
