Re: 72 2wd project "No Daggum Money"
So I got a little bit done today. I installed the pedals from my other trucks old SM465 setup. I cut the linkage and re-welded it to fit the 2wd specs. Turned out real nice and works fantastic. Reminds me of my old 66 Chevelle. Mid life crisis satisfaction on it's way.
I am currently watching an old Adam12 and it's a drag race edition. Sweet old rides!
Anyway-I also installed the steering column temporarily to steer it up on the doctors table (cement slab) so I can run the brake lines and fuel lines. I need the bearings replaced and they are a bit expensive for my "cut it to fit" mentality for this ride. I have the cups for the bearings but lost all the balls-haha- in the sandy back yard when I took the column out. I need to find some cheap bearing that has about 1/16" balls. Not payin $60 plus $10 shipping for a bunch of little steel balls.
Anyone got Ideas?
