    Groaning steering (lots of creaking while turning wheel) video

    Fuel, Brake, transmission, and coolant lines should definitely be first on the list if the amount of rust under the truck is GTE the weight of a Chihuahua.

    Is this stuff ok to use on ICM

    For example, an MSD module w/wiring harness to couple to an MSD distributor. You could purchase the wiring harness only to add on to your existing wiring. It’s hypothetical provided you can find that type of setup for your truck with the right connections. Hope that makes sense.

    Cracked, NEW AC Delco water pump

    That looks like a stress fracture. Someone may have used that area for leverage. If not you then the person who owned it before you and returned it.

    You should be able to pinpoint sound by feel when turning the steering wheel. Put your hand or a stethoscope over every joint. You’ll find it.

    What tool out of everything you have do you regard as your best investment.

    I was never satisfied with the results of using a screwdriver or putty knife to clean out all that moldy/caked grass from under my TORO Flex Force Turbo 40 in. Lawn Mower - until today. The 4800 BP Ingersol Rand 125A Needle Scaler may now be one of my best investments.

    Steering box

    Have you considered sending your box out to be rebuilt? Depending on what’s worn (hard parts, bore, or bearings), it may be a viable option. If you select a place that also sells new boxes you can always purchase a new box if they tell you the old one is toast + they already have the core...

    Fuel pump

    Remote troubleshooting in this forum can be challenging. Limited physical access and the person's ability to describe the problem with the minimum information required to start the process can be a problem in itself. The what, when, where and conditions are likely not available in the post for...

    "A Forgotten Relic: A GMT400 Tale"

    Thanks. A bit wordy, but then again I would rather wrench than write about it. Ideally, get the young ones to hone their skills in something that’s a challenge and very satisfying.

    Can anyone help me identify this truck?

    It really doesn’t help. What exactly is a “vehicle template image”? For what purpose? The vehicle appears to be registered to a veteran. Where are you located? In the US?
