Re: Daverods project 66
 

Painted my water pump. Put everything back together. Glad to get that figured out. Ordered my steeering box adapter plate from the caption. Guess I'll work on get my steering done.;) I'm thinking it might be a pain since I pancaked my crossmember. Hope not.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Mounted my gear box. Somthings wrong though because when I drop it down the upper arm hits the linkage.:waah:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Did you use an adaptor plate with the newer type steering box?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I think the problem is because I pancaked my crossmember. It raised my arms up 1 1/2".:waah:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

you might need to add 2 extra joints in the steering now

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Yep, that is why. I didn't stop to think that would be a problem. Is the upper arm hitting the steering shaft hard, or just a little?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

in other words if you can put a notch in the upper arm or change it to a tubular arm to clear the steering

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Seems to be hitting it hard.:sumo: I have'nt really mounted the steering column. :mm: I really don't want tube arms. I was looking for some pictures of how guys added a couple links. Could find any. I know I've seen some. I think they were for doing R&P though. Not to many people with pancaked stuff. I would say the shaft hits into the arm about 3/4 to an 1".

Re: Daverods project 66
 

OK maybe it hit more. It would be a big notch.:smoke:At full up it touches. Last few are full down. Maybe a notch and a link? There does'nt seem to be a lot of room. Maybe zig it over to above the frame then back? or zig it up?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looks like you will have to do something like this. I'm a Borgenson Dealer if you need anything.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

2 ujoints and a support bearing should do it.and a coupler. Pm me a price. No rush. or what ever you think I need. I knew I was being nice to you for a reason.

Re: Daverods project 66

That's it no more mister nice guy.:devil::sumo: I'm going to be on Americia's funniest videos this Sunday.:metal: A minute to win it. Set your DVR. If I win I'll give you $10.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looks like $$$$

Re: Daverods project 66
 

There only $199 I think for the uppers, powder coated with ball joints for right now.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

those a arms look nice .......... wat you could try is raise the steeringbox using a realy thick and strong adapterplate that bolts intoo the original boldholes of the chassis and has studs to mount the box higher up doing it that way alows you to return to stock if this doesnt work .
it might even correct the steering geometry as you allready raised everything up the chassis that comes after the steeringbox ...... that is as long as the steeringrods and stuff comming of the box still clears the underside of the chassis after the raising

Re: Daverods project 66
 

You can use a smaller diameter shaft & gain some clearance. That tube over shaft collapsible arrangement can be swapped for a 3/4" shaft. You'll still have to also raise it up slightly w/a support bearing & some u-joints w/the 1.5" notched x-member.

With my 1 1/8" notched/sectioned/pancaked x-member using OE arms, I cleared w/the smaller dia shaft (standard aftermarket 3/4" DD shaft). It only made contact w/zero air pressure.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I say go with the MMW arms I posted. They will look cool as hell. I have his uppers for my s10.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Their web site doesn't work. Cant you get those arms w/ a stock ball joint?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

give his company a call, And yes you can get them with stock ball joints. He is rebuilding his site so that's why it's messed up.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Got my $hit jack up last night. :metal: Raised everything 1". Everything clears. Well except for the steering shaft. Dont know ? Can I just cut the shaft to make it shorter or does it need splines in the end. The way it is now I don't think I have enough room to move it much.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Hey Dave your idler arm should be the same angle as your pitman arm. Your going to be all jacked up. :uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

How do you know I did'nt raise it too.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I was just looking out for you. People need to know that. So stop being so lazy and post more pictures of everything you do. Or should I say almost everything you do. Some things should be kept to yourself. :haha: :haha:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:lol: I did post a picture of it buts it's hard to tell I raised it because the old holes are covered.;) Thanks for looking after me.:smoke: I need a lot of help.:lol::lol: Your a fine example.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I think she was too smart for you Dennis. That's why she didn't answer.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I think I figured it out. I remember now where my other hand was. :haha: :haha: :haha:
