Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
You need to post a video of it in action. This is a great secret you kept. Fantastic mod. My first question is; what is the button for? can you disable the quad steering? Or is it to make the wheels steer the same direction?

That's it hanging down in the rear. It is huge, at least twice as big as the engine computer. I had to rebuild the mounting bracket lower to not hit the bed floor, but still high enough not to interfere with the spare tire. Spare is not mounted in this picture.

The way the 4WS works is opposite the front at low speed to tighten the turning radius - about the same as a Honda Accord - IN A TRUCK!!! At high speed above 45 mph the wheels turn with the fronts so that on the highway when changing lanes the truck moves more sideways and less rotationally.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Quadrasteer...now why didn't we see that coming?? You are a craftsman and a showman, sir
![]() So do you have full range of motion with the rears even with the air ride dumped?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Yes it does have full range at full dump which I have pictured in the yard. The rear only steers a little on a Quadrasteer truck. It makes a dramatic difference in parking the truck, especially this one that needed to end up 4 inches longer that the original 2002 Quadrasteer truck. Remember I was married to the 72 Suburban door length plus the cab back + the 72 shortbox length so I could use factory moldings. I could have shortened the bed in the front more and custom made my front and top bedside moldings, but I had seen the pictures of the Gold and White one (see page one of my build), and the proportions of that one looked so right I didn't want to mess up what I knew looked good.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
A few pics of the business end.
Steering sensor enclosed in a waterproof box. This sensor tells the 4WS computer how much I am turning. Inner bed had to have relief cuts to clear the tires at full tilt and full dump.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
How much does that lower the turning radius? I'm guessing it's waaay inside what even a swb truck would do...must make parking that beast a LOT easier!

Parking is such a dream that I end up undershooting the spot and have to let off steering at the end.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Just a super job on the installation and modifications necessary to make it work the way you wanted. Don't know how to put it in words, great job.....Jim

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
What did you use for the rubber mat in the bed? Is this designed for the 67-72 or did you custom cut a different product? I did a thread search but didn't find anything about it. I'm looking for something like this for my 8' bed.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
The bed mat is a blank universal fit that you cut yourself. Very thick and beefy.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I think I would explode if I kept a secret like that. Especially the midnight pics, I would miss my editing and slip.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Here is my custom plenum piece for connecting my new air unit to my old AC vents. The bottom is open to the new unit. I ended up eliminating the middle vent double sided hose connector and just attached my plenum box directly to it. The outer vents connect by old hoses into each side of my new plenum. Since the plenum is metal it would want to sweat/condensate and drip onto the carpet so I insulated it here with stick on foam insulation.
