I think I finally found out what that noise was coming from the front end.
No wonder the stearing was wandering a bit...

The rear bracket in this pic is cracked. Does anyone have one laying around???

I have been DD'ing this thing for 3 weeks now and was just hooking up a strap to pull a stuck Ford out and noticed it. I just drove the wife and kid to tha park yesterday. Got very lucky that nothing happened.
 
A rodent of some sort had eaten a hole in the vent line where you couldn't see it. Water and sand in the tank. We finally dropped the tank and ran new lines and added a fuel/water separator.

Looks like it's time for some B-52's. :wink1:

Since you're going with the B-52's, any chance you have the bracket??
