Off the top of my head, remove steering wheel and shift lever mech if column shift. Remove turn signal if equiped. Remove pitman arm from steering box, remove steering box bolts to frame bracket. Remove bracket that holds column to dash or dash support. unbolt anything else I forgot holding column. Pull box and steering column out thru firewall. Mark wheel and pitman arm locations for reassembly before removing.

In between fatherhood duties, working on the DD & some minor errands, I got some more soldering done on the engine harness and wrapped up another section. Now have "driver's injecttion", "rear" & "fuse box" left to do.
Also adjusted a wheel bearing... if I'm lucky I'll get the other side done before bed.

Just a couple little things, replaced the rusty, worn valve cover bolts (they were 3 different head sizes) with a nice new shiny set. And then painted most of the waterpump with a brush, what I could reach, with out removing anything. Just cleans up under the hood a bit!

Got my radiator in today very happen with the fitment. Mounted a brake booster on the firewall but decided I will probably replace that with a frame mounted unit to clean up the look of the firewall. Replaced the door pins and got the hinges all sorted out for the most part. Also got the other step and cab corner in today.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Worked on an updated ventilation system, not to mention Fred Flintstone brakes, for my cab! :lol:

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Also good for real time engine, steering and brake system monitoring. No need to mess with pesky heater cores either. AC can be a problem however....

Received a 62 Nova auto shift indicator bezel for the top of the column, great non pitted original, looks like it was made for it. Wasted the afternoon making a plexi lense and chasing down letters for it only to have it melt down when polished. Went in and ordered a replacement online from Shiftworks, some things are better bought....
