after andy brought it back to my attention I'm seriously considering running an inverted T steering setup to avoid trying to find a dana 44 flat top knuckle.

I'm unsure if I want to drill out the taper and use a TRE taper insert from wfo, or buy their already retapered TRE and just use it on the axle. There's is made to use on the PS as far as I know or I could flip mine around and make it work on the PS.

My other concern would be it's for TRE taper and not drag link, I didn't know drag link taper differed from tie rod end.

I had also thought well use a TRE down low into that TRE with the retapered hole or drilled and tre taper installed, then up top on the pitman arm use an actual drag link end.

Found a nice square to buy huh???

 

[Swims350]

nope living with in laws and not having enough coin to finish my house is getting old, but yea if I sell it then my next truck will be a square body 4x4 so I can use the front axle I got and the rallys and such.

I bought a for sale sign to hang on it, gonna throw it out there for around $4k and let em talk me down, but it's not leaving for any less then $3k, newly rebuilt motor, maybe 1000 miles if that, new trans same mileage, new front end parts less then 300 miles on em, new brakes all around, solid body, yea I think it shoul d be worth it.

If not then it's not gonna leave.

I guess you modified that roll bar for the GMT400 huh? Or can you keep it for future 4x4 Square purchase???

 

[Swims350]

no mods really it'd work just fine for a square, same as the rallys and the springs, front axle and all that stuff.

I was wondering when there was going to be an update, although that's not the kind of update I was expecting. Figured the house had you pretty well occupied.

 

[Swims350]

yea it definitely does. I've been meaning to get pics of it yo update, one room is done minus trim work, the other master bedroom is almost, then I have all the rest lol.

truck aint sold yet guys I know the price is kinda steep and if it doesn't sell oh well, I'll keep it and use it.

 

[HotRodPC]

For your sake of getting your house ready, I hope you get a buyer for it. I can agree with those priorities and see the reason why. And besides, if you want a straight axle truck anyway.... and the fact, you'd replace it with a Square... Hope it sells.

had several offers already and plenty of interest, none met my price tho lol.

best offer was 25 hundy cash money and 2 guitars, one fender one Yamaha both acoustic I guess.

also got offered my old monte ss back and 1g cash. if I didn't need the cash I probably would go for that one, but would need more cash.

got 2 emails from CL, one guy wanted to trade me 2 yoters, or Toyotas for it lol one knocking one not, one 94 one 95, sorry no trades lol, unless it's a squrebody chevy even an s-10 and like 2-2500 cash.

then the guitar guy wanted to know if I thought about his offer and wanted to, told him nope 3k cash no guitars bottom price.

also had a CL email guy wanting me to call him, haven't done it yet.

Also thought since I listed it for 4k I'd offer up some stuff if someone was interested for that much, leave my system in it, 2 kicker compvr's cost $130 each and a 400 watt sub amp cost 2xx something new, then put the roll bar and lights back in it, and throw in the quarts of base and gallon of clear I bought for it, and the trailer hitch I took off it, heck I'd give em the stock lights too, just to get em out of the garage LOL.
