Fired up the '75 Power Wagon today to install a new steering damper on it. While pulling it into the lift stall I bumped a lift arm with the front left tire. KABOOM, down it went... well, the tires looked good but were pretty old, time for a new set. The steering damper went in fairly easy and trouble free!

Nice truck.  Color me jealous.  I would love to have another one.  I was lucky in 28 yrs. as a tech it never happened to me but I saw it happen to others quite a few times.  Tim

Well I don't feel so bad anymore.
I did the exact same thing to the same tire on a 78 short box W150 back in the early 90's when I first learned to use a lift.
