The clamps are for mock up only. They will be changed out for a nicer set to make it all purdy.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

My last russell fitting come in today along with Parker compression to -6an fitting from Shannon. Maybe I can find a little time this weekend to install them.

The part numbers are
russell 620401 6an straight endura hose end


Parker 6xhbu-ss 6an to compression fitting

here is a link to Parker

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Monday night I finished up the power steering lines. I'm not crazy about the routing but did not want to bend the return tube on the pump to much. Still trying to find some nice looking claps to do away with what I have now. I'm thinking about going with Kugel Komponents clamps but haven't made my mind up yet.

The heater delete plate form Oklahomaduner came in yesterday. Austin is a super nice guy to deal with.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

I've been waiting for an update.:lol: Looking good Greg.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks but speaking of updates it has been a month and a half since your last pictures. You got to show us how close you are to sticking Patches in the mudhole.:lol:

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Ok, I caved in and made a small update to my build.;) Not much progress to report though.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Have you checked out the made just for you clamps? They are very nice and come in many colors..

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Have not done alot lately to the truck. I did manage to get my new steering gear mounted. Also shortened the steering shaft to work with the power steering setup. All that is left is to weld the shaft to the steering coupler.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

lookin good man...

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks. Just checked out your progress and can't wait to see it in person.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

You will soon i hope.. Im hope that i can drop the motor off at my dads friends shop this week.. i still got alot of cleanin to do on the truck.. never endin..

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

We have a few more weeks of football left so now I can work on the truck. Tonight I decided to grind down the welds from three months ago. Maybe in a few days I can install the column back in the truck.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Greg, did you remove the collapsable shaft?

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

This auto column was a one piece shaft. After mounting p/s gear I cut the shaft, slid it into the ragjoint coupler and tacked in place. Trucks equiped with p/s might have the collapsable shaft but i'm not sure.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

I believe I have an extra shaft at work. I can Check the splines on it if your interested.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

lookin good greg!!

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

I have a couple of lower shafts from 67-72 era trucks. On this column the only splines are located up by the steering wheel. It does not seperate like the later years. Thank you for the offer and maybe we can discuss it Saturday at the get together.

Re: Greg65 build thread
