So I converted my 67 from drum to disc and power steering. I had to add the 1/4" spacers to frame. So it goes down the road fine, but the wheel is off so I want to align it.
I read that when the gear box is centered the rag joint bolt should be top dead center and 2 of the grooves in the ptman arm shaft should be parallel with the gearbox. Is this correct? Can my steering wheel be 1/4 turn off on the shaft ? |

Re: Steering question

You can move your steering wheel so it is centered but with the spacers between the frame and steering box I think you will find that your truck will turn sharper one direction than it will the other. I removed the pitman arm on my '67 and ground more grooves in it so I could install it in any position on the steering box lower output shaft. I then centered the front wheels, centered steering wheel and re-installed my pitman arm. That cured all of my problems with the steering. LockDoc
