Re: Project: 1966 Stepside LWB

Some more pictures of fitting everything up, and the quality of welds here. The pitman arm that was on the new PS box was in the correct position, so I didn't even have to mess with pulling it off. I was pretty happy about that.

When I bought my engine, it came with a power steering pump and all of the brackets. I don't have pictures of this part, but I put those all back on and put the PS lines on. Everything fired right up, and after some bleeding, I had a really solid PS system. Also, I put a grade 8 bolt through the steering rod to hold the new flange on. I will have it welded up in the near future, but I couldn't wait to try this out. I can steer with one finger now, and it's great!

Overall, this is one of the best upgrades I have done. I definitely recommend that everyone do this if they have even the slightest urge.
