ok here is the low down,76-86 ford f-150 have the same hub,so i went to a local you pull it and bought both sides from the knuckle out for 60$,replaced the drivers side hub and then went and got it aligned,well it drives great,it is a night and day over what i had,for an sas truck i would say it is a decent daily driver,i am so stoked right now.
