What have you done to your square lately??

[Mr Clean]

Got the steering gear back together. Getting all the ball bearings back in is a B I T C H!. Had to do it twice. The front cover lick is a big pain also. But all in all it isn't that hard. Just time consuming. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 6. I'm very pleased with myself. I'll never buy another steering gear, I'll rebuild from now on.

After doing some items on the honey do list I was able to get the truck painted.... well the base color painted. I still need to do the other color for the rockers and the cab roof. This is GM Medium Sage Green from 2003 Avalanches and other vehicles. The roof and rockers are going with GM Covert Tan that was used in 1972 on muscle cars and such.

with the silver and chrome I think it should be a good looking truck. When deciding colors i kind of ran through all my vehicles in my past I have never had a green truck... finding a green that I liked was challenging

I would satin clear that, and rock it. Looks good!

good to hear. I'll keep an eye out for a spare. Was thinking about the redhead, but dang at $316 (plus shipping) w/core. I'll make time for half that.

That's a WONDERFUL choice of color! I'm a big fan of dark metallic greens, especially with gold toned metal flake (as opposed to the typical silver or blue).

I've thought about rebuilding my own too but was curious what you do if there's excessive wear in the worm or a few of the balls? Redhead an a few other places make a big deal about fixing that an say most of the wandering issues are caused by that.
