Man, OCD clean is right. I'm glad you're going to make it a daily driver. That's what they're for!
No rush on the steering pictures... I'll be here.

Thanks! I believe it is hugger orange, but I don't know the exact color code.
The color looks great on the truck, but it's not what I would have picked. I'm in the process of "making it mine" and will hopefully be re-painting in the next few months.

I wasn't able to get any solid shots of the linkage, but here is what I could get.

The steering shaft u-joint does rub against the headers occasionally, it could be easily fixed by probably kinking the header in a bit where it is rubbing.

I'm hoping to do a LS motor swap so I'm not going to worry about it right now. (famous last words, I know)
