Nice video!
- When you install the inner axle seal, it should be driven in at the same time as the bushing. These little seals cave in fairly easy.
- I noticed you installed the bushing and axle together, the bushing should be driven in and seated in the trunnion before installing the axle, if not the axle/steering flange will lock when turning, you may have done that, just not shown.
- It was nice to see the daughter(?) helping out, gives kids an appreciation of what's required to maintain/repair vehicles.
- If you need a part and can't find it, post your need, there are a lot of sources and we can help.
In looking at the condition of the truck, you have a big project ahead of you, one that most of us have dealt with.
