Super close to going to the paint shop. Bringing it in Monday. Pulled the front and rear glass. Fortunately only two small rust spots that need to be addressed. I know it could be a whole lot worse on theses old trucks.

Notice a drip under the truck. Looks like the 50 year old power steering pump finally decided to give up. I pulled it and it’s coming out from around the pulley shaft. It’s nice to know that after a year of working and learning on this truck, I can swap it out no problem! A year ago I couldn’t say that.
Rebuilt power steering pump installed and road tested. It couldn't of gone any smoother! Out the door at Napa after the core charge it was around $85. I wonder if I pulled up to a mechanic shop and if they would work on an old truck, what they would be charging me to replace the power steering pump?
I think an independent shop would. Dealer probably not. getting where they won't work on my 94. They tell me they can't get parts. Sounds like a load to me. I'd hate guess on price. I think my shop did it for around $250. I replaced hoses and all. I didn't feel like fooling with it, but I did have other things done too. F250, 4x4 with a big block. Looked a little tight
It's hard to find a good mechanic you can trust. I definitely don't have a dealership I trust near me. There are a few small shops where you can get a fair price, but they are fewer every day.
Unfortunately so. I worked on cars and trucks for years but now I just can’t do it physically. I still have all the tools and even my side shop set up at my mother’s house (that my brother is now in) . It is a separate garage from the house . Made for a great side shop when I was able to fool with them.
I worked on them so long and had such a following that I had to turn down work, just about every week !
