anyhow the old bitch needed new steering box ,new front shockies tighened wheel bearing and a headlight.
thank christ my son has the contacts and for TM as we sourced parts.incidentally the late great gooserolla furnished its almost new front shocks for the job as its on its way to the auto wreckers any day.gettin g that steering arm off the box was a prick of a job too-neither heat nor sledgehammer,7oil would make it budge. as air turned bvery blue in the mancave the 9"anglegrinder was whipped from its lair under the bench and put to work.yup that remaining stub finally worked out what was good for itand pooped out before exitng back door at high speed(fuck my son can hurl shit when hes mad)-we think its new home is over in neighbours jungle like back yard.

Not one near Northlands mall was it? I had to go somewhere else with my truck today and it failed too.
