Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Why kind of a drop can you expect with that setup?

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Newbie here too. This was a great read and inspiring to me for my 69 stepper. When I initially saw the pics I thought for sure it was bagged. I am static dropping mine for now and really like the stance yours has. great work! Did you end up getting the rear wheels centered or did I miss that part? Also, what 6" rear coils did you go with?

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
My power steering pressure hose started leaking about a week ago. When I looked into it I found the leak was coming from the sleeve portion of the 90˚ hose end that connected to the pump. I just used Summit brand hose and hose ends so I'm thinking they weren't up to the task. I did some research and found that Russell makes hose and hose ends specifically for power steering. I ordered last night so I hope they will arrive tomorrow and I can get it back on the road Saturday morning. Here is the parts list:
Quantities and Part Numbers: 3ea -6 to 90° hose ends (RUS-620421) 6ft of their power flex hose (RUS-632610) 1ea EAR-991947ERL -6 TO 5/8-18 (box) 1ea EAR-991950ERL -6 TO 11/16-18 (box) 1ea EAR-991955ERL -6 TO 16MM X1.5 (pump)

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
When I was doing the hoses for my truck, I noticed that KRC says to only use hose rated to 2,250psi, I didn't realize it had to be that high!
Went down to my local hydraulic shop and a buddy of mine fixed me up. He made up some crimped fittings and hose. It's not as perty as yours is going to be though!

Well, I built up my new power steering pressure line and it appears to be doing just fine. To quote Johnny Bench, "No runs, no drips, no errors." I also picked up my rear end, with fresh install of Richmond 3.73 gears and an Eaton posi.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Put the rear end on jack stands, put a chalk mark on the drive shaft and the tire. Spin the tire one revolution and count how many times the drive shaft turns using the chalk as a reference. This number is a rough estimate of what gear you have.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I like your shorty step side. I also board here in Fl. on the west coast call nature coast. I am sure that you are going to make this truck a show stopper. I will be following your build.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I'll have to third the comment. I have always had a thing for the GNs. But given the option between YOUR stepside and that GN I'd choose your stepper. Very sweet

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I have the "waiting for a shipment from CPP" blues... I'd love to have my rear disc brake kit so I can install the new posi rear-end. Good news is, tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day to drive my truck to work!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I found that when I need cpp stuff I get them from Scott's. he goes down there picks up the parts then ships them. I had my nova front and rear susp in 5 days!! I waited 5 weeks for my cpp drive shaft. Lol
