I looked at Jeffs thats were I got the idea. He just kinda reamed the tube out. I was going to ask him how he did it. I think he only has a computer at work though.

daverod · 06-08-2011, 09:52 PM

I've been told it won't fit before, but it always does.

One way or another the $8 bearings going to work.

jeffs51chevy · 06-09-2011, 01:25 PM

Dave,
I took the column to a buddy's and turned it on his lathe. I was going to take it to an muffler shop, but it was on a Sunday and nobody was open. Thank goodness friends can't close. As a last resort, you could probably go very carefully with a die grinder. It's kinda hilbilly, but far within the scope of, "something I'd do". As for joints

, I used the universal joint from a c10 van. I remember it being cheap, but can't remember how much. I think I spent like $40 bucks on the whole steering solution.

Hope that helped,
Jeff

A search should help you find those pics.

I have seen cheap muffler pipe flare tools at Schucks, Orielies, Auto R us or what ever they are called this week. Never used one so do not know how well they work.

daverod · 06-09-2011, 10:59 PM

Thanks Orrie I'll check it out. I should get the bearing tomorrow.

MrDude_1 · 06-11-2011, 02:57 PM

Hey on your a-arm header issue, a set of speedway tubular arms would clear.. they are ~45 dollars an arm

I just notched the one a little. Turned out fine.

That does sound like a good price though.

Dave since you are coming to Boise to Northwest Motorfest, you get to help decide what to do while you are in town.

daverod · 06-20-2011, 09:30 AM

You mean like find you a new old 5 window to work on.

I'm up for anything. I love Boise.

sweet70beast · 06-21-2011, 07:20 PM

Hey Daverod, is that your 52 Chevy radiator for sale that was on Craigslist last week?

daverod · 06-21-2011, 09:53 PM

What, I'm the only 52 radiator around.

Yes it was mine.

Ever look at ksl classifieds.

daverod · 06-22-2011, 10:01 PM

Put my bearing in the column. Hooked up my steering. I just put 4 slits the column tube, put the bearing in and welded it up.

daverod · 06-22-2011, 11:01 PM

I found my interior. I'm going with a orginal beach seat with black and white cow hide.

bubba327 · 06-22-2011, 11:48 PM

While you are in Yuma this winter, get some Mexican wool blankets. They work really well.

Strodder · 06-23-2011, 09:50 PM

What kind of bike would you want to buy when your rich?

daverod · 06-24-2011, 09:06 AM

Well if I was $$$$$ I would get a HD. But I guess I really just want to be like you. I think a somthing like a 2003? Road Star is going to be more realistic. Someting along those prices, I want somting I can ride on long trips. I need to make some easy $$$ first. What happened to all the easy money anyways?

You keep on spending it.

daverod · 06-24-2011, 05:03 PM

I thought that's what it's for?

sweet70beast · 06-24-2011, 09:03 PM

Dave, if you still have that radiator and it's any good I want it. I need one for my Panel.

ruffrida2005 · 06-24-2011, 10:29 PM

You not done with this thing yet?

daverod · 06-24-2011, 10:38 PM

Your still alive? I thought you died of heat stroke by now.

Strodder · 06-24-2011, 10:39 PM

I want to see better pictures of the steering shaft and how it clears the A Arms.

I'll save it for you. I don't know how good it is. When I bought the truck it did'nt have an engine. I'll fill it up and see how it is. It looks good.

bubba327 · 06-25-2011, 12:33 AM

Really nice yard art you have there Dave

At least it is in the rocks and no mowing is required.
Wow-- Nice View!!!

Strodder · 06-25-2011, 09:36 AM

I like the yard art too.
