More pics of My 73 Blazer project & Tie rods - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

For you pic hungry types. I had to put on the "Tennis Shoes" cuz the 35's are mostly ozoned out. But, took off the roof and am evaluating whats needed.

Now, Tie rod ends and steering bushings. I have a lot of slop in the steering. Narrowed it down to rod ends and other steering end bushings. What's a SAFE yet budget way to refresh these? They all look to be kinda pricey. Any suggestions?

It Does Look just Like Mine Does Yours Have The 4speed With The Granny Thingy Too? Are The Windows Hard To Roll Down?

Windows are OK, they just rattle. This is an automatic. I do have the 4 speed SM465 in my 1980 K10.
