Re: Daverods project 66
 

hmmmmm the guy building the boss hog was mentioning he was looking for either a set of 10 bolt hubs for his front diff 8 to 10 bolt adapterplates for a 8,5 10 bolt pattern or a 4x4 10 bolt front axle for wheels like that
hes thinking of using a 10 bolt rearaxle out of a 3500 hd with 19.5 inch rims and the one he has is a 2 wheel drive truck

Re: Daverods project 66
 

My manual steering gear box on my 64 has some play. I was thinking about putting a power steering box in it place. What would happen if I don't hook it up to the pump? Would it still work or would it wear out. I really don't want to buy a new manual box then down the road hook up my power steering.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It will just help you build more muscle than the manual box.:lol: I would hook up the pump and enjoy the ease of driving. I started driving my '66 and it was a shock not having the power steering.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

The pump and the bracket for a 292 is the problem.;) I don't feel like spending 300 for a fricken bracket. I could use alittle more muscle.:sumo: I kinda like the manual, keeps the arms looking good.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It would seem to me in my limited experience that a power steering box without a pump connected would be much harder to use than a manual box.
I see L6 motors in trucks in the wrecking yards often. What is so hard about finding the bracket and who in the heck would pay $300 for it????
LM-c-somebody has later model manual boxes that could me hooked up with the adapter and a power unit changed out later...

Re: Daverods project 66
 

292's are hard to find. Look on ebay they sell for 250 to 300 all the time. The bracket pump and pulley's. Way over priced if you ask me. Yet I just bid 215 for one and was out bid.:lol: I think I'll live with the manual.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

There is a 292 in a service truck that is next to a truck I am robbing parts off tomorrow.
I will check on the price and let you know in a PM... :metal:
Any year will work? this would be a early to mid 80's truck I am guessing....

Re: Daverods project 66
 

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...eering+bracket. I don't think it would. It's got to look like this. Some old c60's have them.;) The one in the 3rd pic is the one you want.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Won't hurt to look... $300 is ridiculous

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Copy the $300 one, and make it yourself.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I have an extra manual steering box that sometimes gets used as a door stop you can have. You just have to drive to Boise to get it. :burnout:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

If I ever get one I'm going to make about 20 of them and sell them on ebay.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Making the pump bracket is one thing, but what about the extra pulley needed on the crank and the water pump? Would ones off of a 250 work? I don't know my I6's very well.......

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I don't either. Take some measurements. :uhmk:
