Damn, If I knew how to post pictures i'ld show you what my 97 F150 looked like when i had a ball joint fail, but it only cost 360 to fix, (ball joint failed, I drove it back to the appt. cause i was at school in the city and ripped halfshaft so i replaced bolth upper controll arms, upper balljoints are non replaceble on that model, bolth lower balljoints, and bolth halfshafts) I'll probaly still put the Dana 50 TTB IFS in my 92 for temp. 4x4 untill I can get a Dana 60.

OK, here you go. I am going hog hunting tomorrow. We have had 3" of rain today so it should be about the same conditions as the last time when I broke the Chevy.

Thanks, we are already looking for exhaust, bumper and lights. I have a wench for it, just need a bumper to install it on.

Most important though, she likes it, which is good considering what she is used to driving.
