Power Steering on my 67 short step
Today I converted my 67 shortstep to power brakes using the power booster off of my 69 parts truck. Many thanks to all those who posted tips on how to do it. The whole project went very smoothly after reading all the threads concerning this. Best of all, all it cost me was $4.89 for the six pack of Budweiser
 it took to get the job done!Now on to the next step...I'm gonna take the power steering off of the 69 and put it on the 67. After reading all the threads about the 'dimple' in the frame that's not there on the 67, I looked at mine, & sho 'nuff, I ain't got one either. My question is: Since the truck is still all intact & drivable, what's the best way to go about 'dimpling' the frame? Or would it be easier to cut the section of frame with the dimple off of the 69 & weld it on the 67? Any thoughts on this are mucho appreciated! Bryan

Heat it to a dull red with a torch and dimple it with a BFH.

 The BFH is the way to go.
