Re: Rat repair.

Nice work on the bracket! You're correct in that 72 only 4wds came from GM w the steering damper. I've chased the correct tie rod bracket and got lucky for my K10 and K20. Just as a reference, here's an example of the OEM style steering damper that bolts to the axle bracket as is with no fab needed: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/more...937&cc=1051445

Thanks for the link!

I fired my truck up today and the damper clears the U bolt fine so i'm gonna run it for now.

I found a truck for sale i'm trying to go look at its a 68 C10, 6 lug LWB with a straight 6 and 4 speed, its still in original paint, pretty straight but maybe a couple small dings, from what i can tell it looks like a pretty good buy.

NADA and Kelly arn't being much help...
