I looked at Jeffs thats were I got the idea. He just kinda reamed the tube out. I was going to ask him how he did it. I think he only has a computer at work though.:waah:

Re: Daverods 52
 

I've been told it won't fit before, but it always does.:lol: One way or another the $8 bearings going to work.:sumo:

Re: Daverods 52
 

Dave,
I took the column to a buddy's and turned it on his lathe. I was going to take it to an muffler shop, but it was on a Sunday and nobody was open. Thank goodness friends can't close. As a last resort, you could probably go very carefully with a die grinder. It's kinda hilbilly, but far within the scope of, "something I'd do". As for joints:smoke:, I used the universal joint from a c10 van. I remember it being cheap, but can't remember how much. I think I spent like $40 bucks on the whole steering solution.

Hope that helped,
Jeff

I have seen cheap muffler pipe flare tools at Schucks, Orielies, Auto R us or what ever they are called this week. Never used one so do not know how well they work.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Thanks Orrie I'll check it out. I should get the bearing tomorrow.

Hey on your a-arm header issue, a set of speedway tubular arms would clear.. they are ~45 dollars an arm

I just notched the one a little. Turned out fine.;) That does sound like a good price though.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Hey Daverod, is that your 52 Chevy radiator for sale that was on Craigslist last week?

Re: Daverods 52
 

What, I'm the only 52 radiator around.:lol: Yes it was mine.;) Ever look at ksl classifieds.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Put my bearing in the column. Hooked up my steering. I just put 4 slits the column tube, put the bearing in and welded it up.:ito:

Re: Daverods 52
 

I found my interior. I'm going with a orginal beach seat with black and white cow hide.

Re: Daverods 52
 

While you are in Yuma this winter, get some Mexican wool blankets. They work really well.:ito:

Re: Daverods 52
 

What kind of bike would you want to buy when your rich?

Re: Daverods 52
 

Well if I was $$$$$ I would get a HD. But I guess I really just want to be like you. I think a somthing like a 2003? Road Star is going to be more realistic. Someting along those prices, I want somting I can ride on long trips. I need to make some easy $$$ first. What happened to all the easy money anyways?:smoke:

Re: Daverods 52
 

You keep on spending it. :haha:

Re: Daverods 52
 

I thought that's what it's for?;)

Re: Daverods 52
 

Dave, if you still have that radiator and it's any good I want it. I need one for my Panel.

Re: Daverods 52
 

You not done with this thing yet?

Re: Daverods 52
 

Your still alive? I thought you died of heat stroke by now.:devil:

Re: Daverods 52
 

I want to see better pictures of the steering shaft and how it clears the A Arms. :metal:

Re: Daverods 52
 

I'll save it for you. I don't know how good it is. When I bought the truck it did'nt have an engine. I'll fill it up and see how it is. It looks good.:lol:

Re: Daverods 52
 

Really nice yard art you have there Dave:haha:

At least it is in the rocks and no mowing is required.
Wow-- Nice View!!!

Re: Daverods 52
 

I like the yard art too. :metal:
