I was never real happy with the how the front down tubes of the exhaust came out.I could not get them up higher than the frame. I stepped up and had a very talented exhaust fab. man redo them. In stainless and up higher so now the lowest portion of the truck is the frame.

I heard a "pop" when turning hard into a park spot at goodguy's .Later steering was a odd feeling,Found this past morning that the a bolt pulled the thread's out of the steering box. This happened now at 1000 mile's on the Bull.

There was a Club of c-10's though all chev.All lined up.I feel they kinda snubbed the GMC.

Is that the bolt that holds the box to the frame?

Palf70Step 08-01-2016 05:19 AM

Re: The Snortin' bull
 
That doesn't look familiar too me. Is your power steering the original ram style? All I have ever dealt with is the later model power steering boxes that have been added on.

It is a later gear box. I fab'd an 87' c-10 frt crossmember and suspension into the original torsion x frame ,Look back earlier in build. The gear box is mounted to a boxed frame section on adapter plate's from CPP .It must of flexed. Now I have installed a longer grade 8 bolt thru the old threaded area on the casting of gear box and torqued her down.All part's on the steering are new though the gear box was a reman.

I went back and looked at your picture and it made sense then :dohh:

For whatever reason I didn't see it as the mounting tab for the box. I guess I am getting old. :hh:;)

the last few week's the bull and I been out runnin' around. A half dozen show's and just about 1500 mile's on the clock now.I noticed at nite time people didn't seem to see me from behind well. I now have brightened it up with led taillamp's. I still have not got to installing my frt sway bar.

He would need 5.14 rear gears with the granny 4spd to do any tire spinning with that

Came across this burb. Or what is left of it.Still in a driveway of a home. The pacific ocean salt air has ate away most of it. There was a perimeter pile of rust on the ground under it.Long beach Wa.

LED update for front lamp's also now.Found some nice frt. socket's with a ground tab to have a good constant ground at NAPA. Full body led bulb's.Like mini chandelier's from another vendor.

Looks great, would you mind giving me a part number? I'd like to do that with my 60 gmc hood

namloc 09-08-2016 11:52 AM

Re: The Snortin' bull
 
No problem, Napa socket # ls6469 for frt, in the rear is used lmc led lamp boards . You must use a no load flasher with led lamps , CEC #ef32rl. And have good ground and circuits for all to work well. If you dnt change frt and rear to led you can use a standard flasher though will have to wire in led resistors at the one end to allow flash to function.

One item that has bugged me from the beginning with Accuair is that there are two mini fuse's attached right to the main control very closely wired. Even though I made the bed open to access all I just thought it would be a better inside the cab.

One detail I did was to put the bed as forward to the cab as I could .As the frame has no flex. It is one of the point's people notice alot .The gap between the cab to bed .

62stepside longbox 09-11-2016 11:49 AM

Re: The Snortin' bull
 
Gap looks way better now, almost like a unibody

Hood alignment.So when I first got this truck it had the cab on the frame the rest was loose.As most of you that have been thru this the hood is a bugger to get aligned and to sit right.After a couple of hour's I finally got it . Sit's flush and flat.Latche's work flawlessly.
