Tell Dad if he decides to go forward with that plan, keep me on his list.

I'm lost now with all the wheel changes. Exactly what are you trying to put on who?
I don't really know myself....I have corvette rallys on the blazer for now to roll it around. Brownie still has the finewires on it....but I did install some new billet specialties goodies in the interior.

[QUOTE=BabyBlue;2505847]







Quick question before you go out to sea. Where could I get or what other vehicles can I get a rack and pinion from like the one you have set up on your truck? Thats pretty sweet and genious idea to get rid of the gearbox etc. Thanks.

Re: Here you go N2TRUX...NVRENOUGH

Jim Meyer Racing and Fat man Fabrication come to mind. They both offer Mustang II style fronts with Rack steering. Also Dropmember is another way cool option..

Thanks, they are actually the Torque Thrusts that came off of my brown stepside, and I just bought new 265/50/15 and 295/50/15 Cooper Cobra's for them. Wheels are 8" wide front 3.75" backspacing, 10" rear with same bs.

BTW Cochino, I can ask my buddy to see if he still has the TT2's on his 72' and if he wants sell them.
