Hey Alan I took your advice and made sure the lift has a stop on it. It got up pretty high and no wobble. By the way your truck looks great!

Here's a couple shots of the fittings for the power steering. Does anyone know if there is an adapter that can be brazed onto the return line at the pump for a -6 fitting? http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00325.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00328.jpg |

They make a fitting that is a compression nut/ferrel on one end and the other end is a -6 JIC steel fitting. I know that Parker fittings for hydraulics should have one. Does the return line on the pump have a bead near the end of the tube? If it does, it will need to be cut off and the compression fitting would need a straight section of tube long enought for the ferrel and nut to seat correctly. Here is the link to the fitting: http://www.parker.com/portal/site/PA...20STEEL&Wtky=# Part number 6 XHBU-S is for 3/8" tube to -6 straight fittings, they should also be available in 90 and 45 degree fittings. Hope this helps. Here are the local distributors to your area (within 60 miles):http://www.parker.com/portal/site/PA...odifier=&Wtky= You have to put in your zip code... |

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00360.jpg I thought OK, I get to do something to my truck. I had a couple little things to do thinking it would be easy..........think again. I thought about putting the fitting on first and said nah, lets put the door handles in since I got my lock cylinder yesterday from Tim Christian. It's just a simple lock cylinder why can't I get it too work. Here is a pic http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00361.jpg If I remember right you have to put key in and push and turn to lock it, right? The first washer that I put on with the slot in the middle will not allow it to turn. It's got some dimples (keyways) stamped in it that is preventing it to turn. Lock cyl turns fine with it removed. Here is a pic of the washer installed. I'm thinking of just filing the edge keyway down so it will turn. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00363.jpg Here are the next pieces I installed then that is followed up with a snap ring. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00364.jpg Complete. I did assyemble it right, right? I didn't have a pic to assy it by. It just looks like this is the way it goes. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00365.jpg Since I was having trouble with that I figured I could get the passenger side handle in. Wrong. of all things that I thought of test fitting, I didn't think of the handles. Now I have some grinding to do. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00366.jpg So these little task turned in to a PITA. It's just part of it, gotta keep moving.;) |
Re: My 1965 build thread
wow man that sucks....I will pull out our original driver's door handle tomorrow and take a look, if no one has solved the mystery by then.....
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan, Don't grind yet. I did my door handles as well about a year ago and faced the same thing. I took them to my local locksmith to get them matched to my ignition/glove box, only charged me $20. I am trying to remember what I did, I am trying to remember.......argggggg
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
Btw you dont have to push in to lock it. Just turn to lock it and then you can't push it in any longer.
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
I cant remember, I cant remember...sorry Alan. I do know that you can assemble and test it without putting it in the door, it should lock and not allow you to push the button. Hope any of this helps :P

Here is what I was doing wrong. The washers were in the wrong place. I put the slotted washer fartherist from the key and it worked great. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00382.jpg I didn't have to take much off for the passenger door handle to fit the hole. The drivers side fell right in. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC00379.jpg I cut the ring off of the hard line comeing from the pump. I stuff a small piece of paper towel in the tube to keep filings out and used a cutoff wheel on a die grinder. Then cleaned up the edges then pulled to paper out. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00386.jpg Installed the compression fitting. I wish I could bend the line to make it paralell with the frame. I had a spring bender and tried it a little, but was scared I was going to twist the tube off of the pump. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00387.jpg This is my first attempt at making a steel braided hose connection. I've read about it being done and that's as much experience that I have. I wrapped the end of the hose with tape and cut it with my cutoff wheel. The braid unraveled and looked nasty. I had to slide the B nut over the other end of the hose to get it on. Note to self slide next fitting on prior to cutting. I finally got it together. The other end is not done yet. I need to see which port on the steering gear is the return. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...g/DSC00388.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Nice work Alan, for a first time I'd say it's a very nice connection, I would have never know lol.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Good idea with the paper towell Allan. I'll have to remember it. I like the looks of the lines, lots better then stock.;) On the dead batt. lock thing. could'nt you just get a jump. If your batt. is dead your going to have to anyway.
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
Looks good ALAN!!!
those braided lines are going to be super clean:metal: glad you got her figured out. I just swapped the steering gear on my '80 this weekend. on it, the low pressure fitting was smaller than the high pressure side. |

:waah: If that picture of 'Cat Fish Man' bothered you that much - I won't bring out my really crazy pictures then. :lol: Great looking hoses and extreme close-up shots of the door handle work (which I desperately need to do too). One note on the pictures though - Los Alamos called and they want their scanning electron microscope back. Mac. :lol: |
