Thanks Mike, it was! We went to a great steak house called Rube's. You get to pick your steak/veggie/shrimp or scallops/ and grill them yourself on their charcoal huge grills. It was the best steak I have had in a long time. I can't wait to go back there.
Now the 72 has steering again. I'm going to have to steal the steering arm off my 76 though. The new drag link uses Chevy D60 tie rod ends which are a different taper than the dodge style. So, it's either buy a reamer at $75 or more, get a tie rod adapter bushing for $10 and drill and weld this arm, or just rob the one from my 76 for free fifty. Luckily, the 76 won't need this piece as I have the parts to put cross over steering on it. Win win. I did drive the truck around town so that is a bit satisfying.Ryan
