Good morning pogo sticks....
BD, How did you make out with your truck tires?
Hi Fred... I decided to go with the BFGoodrich, but locally Sears, National Battery and Tire, and Dobbs Tires didn't have them in stock. I did locate them on line, but I had one tire with a nail in it, and I had to keep filling it with air each day. I finally decided to go to Firestone since I had a Firestone charge card, and could get it finally taken care of. I also had a problem with the front in which I thought was rather strange. If I let go of the steering wheel on a flat straight away, the truck would pull to the right. Then when I did it again, it pulled to the left. It turned out to be a worn bushing with allot of play in it. Ended up with Firestone Primewell 225/70 R14 was around $380, plus $80 for an alignment and $136 to replace the bushing. The tires seem fine at the moment, but it's hard to tell with only 10 miles on them...

The replaced bushing now makes the steering feel like the original tight rack and pinion steering. At least now I wouldn't be afraid to take it on a road trip..
