FYI on K-frames

My 65 looked OK, maybe they had better QC back then, BUT my steering mount was cracked and had to be rewelded. I didnt even try as I got a clean used one for $50. I should have saved it to repair it but that was 20 years ago. Lots of tack and spot welds, but it did have a decent bead where there was a butt joint and around the LCA sockets.
