After years of trouble free use, the TRW draglink went and done worn itself out. Since TRW is no more, had to find a replacement for it. Amazon $80 special suits me fine factory made to,order, as its for such an old ride 1972 w300, no one stocks it. EBay had a few, but I wasn't in a rush for brand new..

Put it in next week sometime

Someday, we could both be on the all Anti Trump cable network, being interviewed by A C.

Be prepared for it, though. You might have to become a pourn star for a while, beforehand, so you can answer all those salacious, and innapropriate for t v. questions. At least you would,be made to look like a valedictorian in the process

Lol

Boy, oh boy did this thread get derailed...

Thanks to all the contributors. Just did the swap and WOW its a new truck! Anyone considering the swap, do it.

I'd been collecting parts for about 6 months, and it all went together in a day.

Borgeson shaft p/n 00941 fits
Lares 997 gear.

It seemed reverse rotation boxes might be getting scarce, could have just been napa/O'Reilly, but i had to get mine from rockauto.
