You probably won’t answer my comment. I think that was pretty cool. 1978 Chevy K5 at idle not in motion. it does not like turning to the right would the ball joints cause that. Great job on your video. It was self explanatory. You walked right through it.
Hey there, don’t be silly, of course I will answer your question. Yes the ball joints can cause this problem but steering box could cause it too. The best way to figure out which is the problem, is to disconnect the drag link and tie rods from each side and hand steer at each position one at a time. The culprit will be obvious. Everything should move easily side to side. I hope this helps, good luck my friend
I’m so glad that you found this helpful. I always hope that videos like this can help others see, that they can do it themselves. Suburbans are great rides. Thank you for your support. Enjoy the ride my friend.
It’s probably the second time I’ve watched your video now that I think of it. I have not changed anything on the passenger side of my 78 square body blazer that’s the purpose of all this. I can’t steer it to the right, but I can steer it to the left, thanks thanks. I’ll check it out.
Hey be sure and disconnect one end of your drag link and one of the tie rod ends. That way you can check your ball joints and steering box to see which one is the problem child. Best of luck
Thank you. I’m glad you like the video. I hope it helps you on your journey. It’s always satisfying to do your own work and have some bragging rights. Thanks for watching and your support my friend.
Unless you were tearing into it, you wouldn’t typically see that adjustment sleeve on the Dana44 until you remove the upper nut. I’m pretty sure the 10 bolt front end is the same set up. It’s not something that you would have to make adjustments on, it’s just to make sure the load is right on the ball joints tapered shaft. I hope this helps you my friend. Oh and I hope that you don’t have to tear into it. Happy trails!!
Thank you. This sweet old pickup is a 1973 Chevy Cheyenne, K20 and Those hubs are some old school Selectro style hubs from Mile Marker. I don’t know how strong these hubs are but I’m going to find out. You really don’t see them around anymore I think they’re cool. Thanks for asking.
Hey there. Thanks for reaching out to us. This is definitely a kit, Here are links to a couple videos about this setup. This first one is what you are referring to. th-cam.com/video/MB4HoLJzIbQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qUpEUdtEO4_7fhzb and the second one is an updated version with the complete kit. th-cam.com/video/q2LBQ7-nq58/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zCes2I4gjafNmluM

@@derickmosbacker9513 Awesome, I love the Sweet rust patina, what can you hurt. That’s the best thing to do with a rusty K20. I have a few more videos coming out soon, about this old thing, upgrades and an adventure where I (put it to the test). I’m happy to share any thoughts. Thanks my friend
I made that bumper from the center section of an old school WARN type winch bumper, and added the tubing, side mounts and a skid plate below the fairlead. I have a bumper video coming soon but I didn’t get much video of making the front bumper. I actually got ideas from an “Off road designs” bumper.

best grill of all the squares
I agree with you my friend. Sometimes you just get it right the first time, and I think Chevy hit the mark first try.
I enjoyed your video I'm working on an 83 K20 I'll be going through all that pretty soon

@@Farm10customs i miss my 86 GMC, love square bodies. Keep the content coming.
Thank you. Square bodys rock!
I was not aware of that adjustment sleeve on the upper ball joint! Or am I wrong? I've never replaced any of the ball joints on my 78 GMC.

Did you build your own drop arm steering set up or is that a kit looks better than having that corkscrew steering arm

Check out “Greatautodeals” on eBay. They have a great selection of parts and kits. You can always ask them for something specific as well.

@@Farm10customs keep up the awesome work you got me running all kinds of ideas between my daily and my woods toy
What is the brand of ball joint you're installing? Thanks.
Honestly I don’t remember the brand, nothing super fancy though. It was just a pair I picked up at our local NAPA store. They will last a long time.
Where did you get your bumper??
