Today removed the Parking Brake Cables and their clips and clevises.
Out came the Speedometer Cable that attaches to the transfer case not the transmission.
Not only did the PO bottom out the rear of the frame at the snubbers but the front as well. Must have been a hell of a last ride!
Installed the 292 passenger side offset mount after straightening out the frame.
Washed part of the frame down with OXY clean from the dollar store using a sanding foam block. Takes off the rust instantly, I need to rinse the slurry off after. Tried out POR15 on the shifter arms.
Since I can't find an original steering rod, I opted to use the 67 up dual tie rod with sleeve . Had to ream the tapers a little bit, using the XKUT reamer I purchased, in a drill press to size the pitman arm and steering arm to size.
Temporarily installed the rebuilt steering box. We have a re-builder for axle shafts, steering boxes, alternators, etc. Did it in a day so nothing special had to be found.
Installed the 1 modified 17.5" converted to 17" rim with tire, all clear so I'll do the other 3.
Moog Part#s for the Dual Tie Rods & Sleeve.
Removed the rear brakes. Had to beat the passenger side rim off the axle. Wheel cylinders are seized. The picture was taken after I removed the cobwebs. I mean really, isn't there a better place to spin a web!
