Your new truck is nice.

I am just finishing some of what you are doing on my 45. You need to have NOS or NORS shock links, as new ones are not available. I just got some from Fred Wilner. I should have gotten all of my bushings and shackle bolts from him, as I have one bushing that I need to ream in order to get the bolt through, darn it. It's good to know of another source. My kingpins are fine, it was the drag link and the shackle bushings and bolts that were shot. Good to know of another source for NOS parts.

As suggested by some here, I disassembled my springs and coated with Slip Plate. I hope to have it back on the road tomorrow.
