60Patrol

also RHD tie rods are metric thread, USA Patrols have standard thread. That causes issues trying to put a non-USA tie rod on a USA Patrol. Keep in mind the truck is 41yrs old. It was designed in the 1950's using technology dating to the 1930s! While all old trucks are cool the Patrol is my pick. But...
