Here's my fall picture.
And I bought new radius arms off eBay. It's the passenger side that is cracked but I figured I may as well just do them both. I'll probably wind up doing them this weekend.

Started on the radius arms this evening. Passenger side is the one that was cracked. Here's where I left off.
The two bolts that go into the top and bottom axle will not start to thread. I'm gonna have to take the arm back off and find a tap and die and clean up the threads. Had a miserable day at work and this thing was just irritating me even more so I had to stop for the night. I'll mess with it tomorrow.

I decided to leave this thing alone today. Too sore and frustrated to mess with it. I'm seriously to think about replacing this truck. It's a good old truck but it's just getting to be too much to keep it going as a daily driver. More than that it's becoming too expensive. The past few months it has cost as much as a car payment in maintenance. I love this thing but for that much I'd rather be driving a new truck that's more reliable and less rusty. I know it's going to be a painful separation but I think in the end it's gonna be for the best.
I'm not sure what I might replace it with. I would like to keep a manual transmission vehicle in the rotation but here aren't a lot of choices with a newer truck. Not really sure when this might happen either but I'm gonna start looking at new(ish) vehicles.

Well I would if sh*t would quit breaking! I really don't want to find out that cracked radius arm let go at 70 mph on the highway ya know?
At this point with this particular vehicle, I'm about ready to concede the argument.
