I also decided to spreadarize it as it's easier to shorten a drive shaft than to lengthen it, and this will allow me to measurize it more easier and better (we think)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Ha, just got back in town and went through the steering column build. I had those same "doodads" when I built mine. Also, that bracket you built looks a lot like the ones I 'found' for my front bumper to mount to the S10 frame.
Getting close, can you feel it yet? |
