Before and After pics of my 'old' truck

I found these on my computer and thought it would be interesting to show. It's before and after pics of my old truck. The interior was pretty much like in the "before" pic when I first bought it, except the door panels and nasty seats were there. No carpet. The headliner was falling apart... I wanted a 4x4 and ext. cab, that's why I sold it. But I must say it was a pretty good truck and since it was a 2wd, 5 spd. it was very simple. Got good gas mileage too. Seems like I have to put a lot of maintenance time into the one I have now. Gotta fix the death wobble, stock torque converter sucks , and sucks more fuel. Maybe I shoulda just held on to the one I had before. I'm happy with what I got now though.

I guess I'm the first to notice your sig says auto 4x4 and the truck in pics is a 5spd 2wd? I'm assuming it is a different truck.

As for the DW, start by cranking out the caster, after all it is easy and FREE. After that I would go ahead and replace the balljoints, never a bad idea. Last, I would get a ThurenFab crossover steering setup, it is just amazing. For a little more than the price of all new steering components you can get the crossover steering and never look back.
