Power steering gearbox replacement is a bioch

Try doing it in a parking lot at your apartment. Tools that are handy is a set you bought at Walmart because you busted your 1/2" drive Stanley trying to loosen the dang bolts...

Yes it is.

Were there any noticeable cracks in the frame?

Then I feel your pain immensely. My thumb still feels numb.

Now that that's done.

After crawling around underneath it all morning, it looks like someone took care of it really well. Most of the underside is painted. It needs to be redone though, but im sure that has kept the truck from rusting out.

The bed is from a previous year, so the wheel wells don't match up, I am contemplating either putting a flatbed on it, or finding another bed for it. Not sure what to do.

How would I find out if it has a Dana 60, or 44 up front?

It's a 60.

What did the 44 come on?

What did the 44 come on?

Half tons.

 

[apocalypse1812]

Ok then...

Why is it an option when I go to autozone??? So stupid.

Anyway, I need to do a munch of drivetrain stuff, paint, and interior (dash) and it will be good.

Not to mention rust proofing the frame/undercarriage

 

[haloman]

The gassers may of but not diesels.

 

[oldestof11]

You have a 4500lbs front axle. Every parts store asks it.

3/4 ton gasser came with the 44 and some 1 tons may have.

Am I missing something or did the PO do an I/C core support and grille conversion? Non-IC came with the 727 and 3.07s with the older, recessed grille where 91.5 came with the a518 4 speed OD unit with either 3.54s or 4.10s.

He might have, mine has a 3.07 rear end, and a 727

 

[oldestof11]

Early 91s came with the updated grille but a 727/3.07 combo.

Yep. '91 brought the updated grille. '90 was the last year of the old style. Here's mine before the update grille conversion. Granted, it had a Bank's I/C with tubular grille.

 

[smokinVE]

Aren't non ic front axles Dana 61's and rears 71's?

 

[apocalypse1812]

For sale, I'm a douche bag.
