Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam

Temperary ignition switch panel is in. Just have to clean up the wiring and put it in some plastic wire loom.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam

Needed the get the exhaust tight above the bottom of the frame so it doesn't scrape. Also went with Flowmaster hp2s

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam

Got the pressure side power steering line figured out. It ended up being a 11/16 Fitting going into the power steering gear box. I installed a shut off valve. Thank God I did. I tried to start it and I end up having a short in the ignition toggle flip switch. Causing a small electrical fire. That quickly went out because of the shut off switch. It could have been a lot worse. I only have to replace about 4 wires at eight feet each and a toggle switch

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam

Got the S10 steering column in today. I used a 2 1/2 exhaust clamp and ovaled out the holes were the factory steering wheel clamp mounted under the dash.Then I drilled a 2 1/2 inch hole on the floor board with a hole saw to get the column to the engine bay. Tomorrow I Will put in the S10 brake booster.
