Re: Installing Rack & Pinion on your C10
why do you want the rack and pinion over the standard drag link and gear box set up? is it a clearance issue?

Re: Installing Rack & Pinion on your C10
I built my own front cross member, with a rack and pinion mount. What I had done was had the stock spindels reamed out to the newer taper. (OEM is 1.5 taper and the T-Bird rod ends I used are a 2.0) They fit well now.
I also did not narrow my front end any, which, looking back would have been a good idea, as I did have a little trouble getting my toe in close and having a safe amount of threads in the tie rod end. Ended up with some inner tie rod spacers in the rack, which I am not big on. I have since found that there are tie rod ends available that are 1.5" longer in the threaded section, which would have solved my whole problem, too. It's all a learning curve when you start building your own parts. There's a lot of good kits out there, and my decision was purely with budget, and I wanted to see if I could do it. |

Re: Installing Rack & Pinion on your C10
Look's like you cut your frame to fit over the cross member. That's not a bad idea. I should have seen your truck around, do you go to many shows? If you get a chance you should come to Kunkels Drive-in over in Connersville this summer they have a cruise-in twice a month.
