Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
So, this weekend i will have more updates.
After some great help and suggestions on this site, Scoti and CaptainFab, i have a long and bent pan hard bar coming, a new rack and pinion system, rubber snubs for axle, new rear shocks, battery, wires, and a few other minor pieces. I would love to have the frame mobile this weekend, God Willing. |

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing what you think of that no frame modification rack and pinion setup, sounds intriguing..

The Rack and Pinion is a powered Rack that is truly bolt in. I got it from POL (Performance Online) and here is part number and link:
https://www.performanceonline.com/19...nd-Pinion-Kit/ Cost is just around $900.00 without hose kit. |

Looks like a simple/clean install.
What rack model is utilized? Tie-rod ends? Those are wearables that you need to know the ID for when you perform future service replacement work.

Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
ok, so i emailed POL on the rack and the parts associted and ask if i ever need to replace parts, what do i use, here i response:
Thanks for your interest in our products. It will be hard to replace direct as the inner tie rod ends are machined special. Rack is from a mid 90's Dodge Dakota. Outer tie rod ends are for the 1963-70 Chevy c10 |

Just glancing, it looks like maybe they're using adapters as the sleeve between the inner/out TRE. Maybe that's what he was referring to & what you'd want to clarify.

My bet is they are just using a machined sleeve/adapter of the correct size/thread pitch that the correct C10 spindle outer TRE will thread into. Either modifying the inners length or accommodating the dimension into the adapter sleeve.

Hi Jeff,
Good to see the chassis member in place and looks good powder coated in red. Tried to respond to your DM but your mail box is full. Want to arrange a good time to call. P. ![]()

Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
I think you are correct. IMO that aluminum sleeve looks a little thin where the outer TRE screws in. Plus I would think there would be a jamb nut there.

Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
Yes. Adapters get a jam nut to keep the TRE's from moving/loosening once assembled & aligned.
