    Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!

    Would suggest alignment prior to driving couple thousand miles on new tires! Only adjustment (other than steering wheel center) is toe-in. Start soaking tie-rod and drag link adjustments sleeves now!

    Believe the speaker brackets came from here: https://www.73-87.com/Parts/7387SpeakerBrackets/73-87%20Cab%20Corner%20Speaker%20Brackets.htm I also purchased and installed the same set. Happy with the end result. Rifle brackets removed in my case, radio and tunes more important than securing...
