[Oletrucks] Oletrucks Digest, Vol 2, Issue 24

[Gale Gorman]

Leon,

Thanks for the info. I buttoned it up yesterday and used 1/8" for toe-in so that was a good guess.

I have a shop manual as well as a parts book on the way on CD ROM. Sometimes when the shop manual isn't clear there will be an exploded view in the parts book.

I'm sure I have the tie-rod parts correct but not so sure about the drag link. I may be missing a spacer but it's not a big deal to add not that all the parts are clean. Removing 56 years of grease and dirt took a lot more time than the repair.
