Is it just me or is there something wrong with the way the steering box is mounted, looks like its not flat with the frame ??

I even had to remake the clutch cross shaft, and bell housing mount. The clearance was really close. It had to be in the middle of the exhaust and the steering box. And the mount had to clear the oil pressure lines, and sensor.

Your just looking at it way to close.

It could happen.

I moved things around day, and got the rest of the 65 in the shop. I tried on the new wheels to see how they looked. Guess what??? They aren't 5x4.75 bolt pattern. They came off an S-10 so I thought they should fit. I guess 73 Chevy trucks with 5 lug have a 5" bolt pattern.

So the Cragers are staying, and now the new wheels are for sale with the Centerlines. They are both 5x4.75 wheels. Any takers?

Your good. I welded a thick spacer to go where the bolt goes through to keep the steering shaft on the box as close to the center of the firewall mount. It was an after thought. But it's really strong as it still has the tubes inside the frame so it doesn't squeeze together when tightened.
Here's a view from the top. It's really tight and I had to adjust it. Before I paint it I'll clean it up., and make it look better.

daverod · 02-22-2011, 11:33 PM

You'll just have to be alittle more careful when taking pictures.

Sucks about the rims.

Strodder · 02-22-2011, 11:49 PM

At least it's not photo shop.

daverod · 02-22-2011, 11:52 PM

Or is it?

Strodder · 02-23-2011, 11:55 PM

I did some clean up in the shop. Since I'm done with the 62 Impala frame, and still waiting for the body to get back from the VERY slow body shop. I put the frame outside, and bagged it with plastic, and 2 car covers. Then I put my truck back in the shop so I can do more work on the frame.

Now I can get more work done.

daverod · 02-24-2011, 12:03 AM

getter done. wish it was that nice here

Strodder · 02-24-2011, 12:05 AM

I wanted to do this now since there is another storm coming. It might snow again.

daverod · 02-24-2011, 12:17 AM

I'm done with the right side, now I'm working around to the left including the roof. What's nice is it's on wheels and I can turn it anyway I want.

daverod · 02-24-2011, 01:27 PM

mines on wheels also. I should have put bigger wheels on it so I can Slide my engine hoist under it better. Next time.

Think the six lug wheels of my 64 would fit the 6 lugs on my 52? They should be the same huh.?

watahyahknow · 02-24-2011, 01:55 PM

maibe you can get some one to lend you an old set with bigger offroad tires until the cab is placed , would make it eazier to work under the car as whell they dont even need to be roadlegal just able to hold air

ruffrida2005 · 02-24-2011, 05:25 PM

Dennis you can send me those rims to put on my s10!

Are you serious? The wheels have tires on them and would cost you a lot to ship.
