Re: 1972 Medium Olive SWB Driver Build-“Chester”

So the internet was going in and out so I took advantage and decided to "work from home". Got home, torqued the lugnuts, checked fluids one last time and took a trip down the road. Overall it went really well. I've got the shocks set to their "street" setting and overall it rides and drives great. Given new tires and no alignment I didn't go but a few miles and kept it at low speeds.

With the suspension and new steering I've got to learn to drive the truck all over again. The play in the steering wheel is gone and I keep turning WAY too early. Good thing a cop wasn't behind me or he'd probably pull me over for suspicion of drunk driving.

I've got a couple of things to iron out and then I'll get it aligned. I have an appt for Wednesday.
