  I've never seen worn blades, but I'm not at a shop either. I'm sure if one is wrenchin on a daily basis, all things are possible. Done front end and suspension work at a shop before, and we saw some duusies come through the door. Stuff completely beyond my comprehension and imagination.

  Motor and the truck look good. Just takes some time to sort out. Once it's straight, it all be worth it!!!

yeah its dodge seats built on a custom frame that way they work the right way. I ordered a speed gauge but never got it yet its paid for im just waiting on it. This truck is well worth what i traded for, it was a minitruck that left for this one kind of think i came out ahead on this deal...
