Re: Project truck dream 65"
Picked up my shift linkage kit today,I was itchen to post something tonight so I suppose this will be it !
This seems to be the kit of choice from what I've seen out there.Everything you would need to tie the column to the tansmission is all here.I could have made this from odds and ends ....,but still not for the price paid over the counter.

Re: Project truck dream 65"
are you looking for the paint dividing trim or the sail panels, cuz i know where some nice sail panels are and cheap, but not the kind that accepts the sail panels

Re: Project truck dream 65"
ok, i just last week gave the same ones 60-63 style to a guy in a trade for a oem fan shroud and radio knobs and odds and ends. i had them things for over 10yrs as my build is a 65 stepper and the dont fit. i can give you his number or i can call em for you, he's in michigan as am i. i met him on CL's and kinda bet em up on the the awesome pick, but i did give him the sail panels that were in great shape no dents just needed to be polished and a set of SS trim around the windshield so we both made out

Re: Project truck dream 65"
Last night I found a set of 61-63 sail panels....,reconditioned originals ! Paid dearly for them but worth it.Tough to find these in good shape,there getting rare.
To buff out the scratches,remove small dents and then polish these would take a fair bit of time not to mention the risk in damaging them in the process.Once again well worth the money paid. I was up in the air with running period correct trim,but at this stage with my build.......period correct,don't think its a deal breaker ? I will need the screws and mounting hardware.If anyone knows where to find them,please let me know. LMC is showing 4 retainers and screws which is confusing because whenever I look at the other repo kits online,I see 2 bars (with a hole in each end) and screws. I have never seen these up close and mounted,so Id appreciate the input here,and detailed pics of these panels/hardware on and off the truck would be appreciated

Re: Project truck dream 65"
The 2 bars you talked about are what you need. They are just a couple of flat pieces of metal, and the one side is curved up a little, so the lip of the sail panel tucks under it and holds it on. Then get some stainless sheet metal screws with a wafer head for the door opening holes. The screw on the rear of the cab needs a tapered seat. Keep building, I have been following your thread all along.

Re: Project truck dream 65"
I have a pre 1980 steering box and want to find a pump thats compatable with it in the Type 11 style.
There are a number of these pumps that look exactly the same,but being that its for my 65 on a sb 400hp,Im confused with high flow,low flow and most of all,a part number! I need to confirm fitting sizes at both ends so I dont order this twice...and any suggestions on a braided hose kit as well. I'd appreciate some input from those who know for sure. I posted a couple pic's here of the pump I want to use.........possibly running this type resevoir if I have the room under the alternator. Attached Images

Re: Project truck dream 65"
One thing I left out was high or low flow pump ? There are 1000 answers and opinions on line....after a morning of research I'm back where I started.
