Firm Feel specializes in only Chrysler steering components. They machine out the bronze bearings and install real bearings. The Napa unit was around $250 but firm feel was over $500 with a $200 core. It was worth every penny.

Already looked at their site ... it looks like they specialize in cars and light duty trucks (up to B200, D200, M300, RM300, etc.). When I get around to it, I'll ask them if they can do medium duty trucks (1-1/2 ton and up).

I'm also bookmarking them for my daughter, for whenever she gets back to working on her '59 Savoy.

I have the same predicament. 78 Sportsman with 16.5s I was wondering if the 16 inch tires/rims are smaller than the 16.5s and by how much?? My motorhomes rear end tends to scrape bottom on slight inclines as it is.

Not very much. You need to put some air bag helpers on... the springs have sagged due to age...

I will definitely second the firestone air bags

I have not been around for awhile, but i have been busy with my poor ol neglected 76... i wanted to share some of our rebuild pics with you, we are not quite finished, but now that the inside looks like a home instead of a rotted mess, i am just so proud! [emoticon]

OK... this is it... we just bought a house and the ole girl has to go... either to someone who is interested in her, a 77 dodge jamboree with a 440 or she is going to the scrap yard... we don't use it and it is just setting in the way... make me an offer... fix the power steering pump (i have the parts) and off you go... may need a battery...

The location is Mohave Valley, AZ, just across the river from Needles , CA. my cell is 928-444-0360

Honestly, if I had more energy, I would keep and update this unit.. but I don't any more... please give the ole gal a good home...
