At the same time as the brakes and rear end, I splurged for Bilsteins.

My steering rebuild included new:

shocks
spring bushings
steering stabilizer
rag joint

and:

stock steering wheel
tightened up center arm and drag link

You can see the steering wheel that came on it in the picture of the new mirror above. It was a well-used leather Grant from about 1980. The PO wanted it for his garage wall, so I gave it back to him. In exchange I got him to go up into his attic for my soft half-doors and the original steering wheel. You can see the stock wheel above with the tach and radio.

With these fixes and the skinny tires in the more-current pictures below it drives great!

I didn't take as many before pictures as I should have. Maybe it's better to forget stuff like this:
