Maybe stop turning when you aren't moving, that puts lots of stress on the steering parts. Only other thing I can think of is to buy a new one instead of welding this one. If they're still available anyways.

I always try to make sure I'm moving when turning. And I can't find those brackets anywhere. Maybe I'll just put another brace from the top of the bracket to the crossmember

The bracket went N/A from Dodge a couple of years ago. Used market is the only means of finding them. Gasser trucks use the same bracket.

Try this link.

2WD Auto I guess. It's a '93 RC SB D150 318/auto. Wanting to see the floor contour for seat mounting options.

I haven't bought the truck yet so I can't look at it.

Thanks.

It is a 1st gen meet and greet event held in Creston, Iowa. This years date is June 10th. This will be event #8. No one posted pic's from the last two events on the threads for them. Michael didn't post up a thread this year. He has been using farce book for setting it up. A lot of the members that go use that means of communication.

This type of events are posted in the "Event" section towards the top of the main forum page.

There will be another 1st gen meet in Oct. It is held in Hermon, MO .
