I think the lesson to be learned in this mess is to buy a M816.

Update -
So I checked over the steering on the truck. Turns out the slop in the steering was a spacer that I forgot to install inside the drag link.
The steering gearbox is still suprisingly in good shape.
All I need to get her back to normal is a drag link and some body parts. Gonna put that on hold for now since I bought another w/w truck and an m1009
(Who knows, I may part it or bob it too!)

I assume you were missing the axe out of your pioneer tool kit?
I'm with Freight Train.... There's no way I'd have left my truck alone. I'd have quietly camped out nearby, catching the thieves / vandals in the act. I'd probably turn 'em over to the cops rather than give 'em the Charles Bronson / Death Wish treatment, but they would definitely be lumpy and sore.....

Dam, Darn, Holy dented M35 Batman. What a back wards ride. No one got hurt.
Metal can be fixed.... Red clay mud slippery stuff. Good luck on the repair.

Everyone who purchased one of the power steering kits will have a spare drag link. There should be someone close that will give you one.
