Eric,
Find a good steering box, and the tools to change it and go for it if that
is all that is wrong. You haven't lived until you have repacked wheel
bearing in a sand storm (Southern Idaho), changed a U-joint in a rain
storm (with a 12# sledge and a couple of sockets), or rewired head lights
on your truck at 2:00 a.m. on Monida Pass (COLD even in April, Brrrrrrrr!).
All this and more could be yours to experience on a GOOD road trip. I now
pack a LARGE selection of tools and parts when I Road Trip. Good luck with
whatever you do. Just get it home in one piece.
