[QUOTE=lasher78;6171685]what did you get the gearbox, pitman arm, pump and lines out of to use?

Gearbox and pitman arm came from a 78. The motor in my truck is out of a 72 nova so the pump and brackets came from the same car. I bought a pressure line for a 72 c-10 with the same 250 motor. The fit wasn't perfect but it works. The adapter plate and rag joint coupler came from captain fab on this site. Couldn't have gone smoother.

I put tranny fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant in the truck today and started it for the first time in over 6 years.

The 89 BB had the lobe for a machanical fuel pump ( I put a q jet on it) and it works just fine. Oh did I mention I put fuel in it also..

It purrs and on the first try.. Had a few tranny leaks. I forgot to tighten the cooler lines and I dont have a gear in for the speedo cable.. OOPS... Bone Yard here I come. It is a 700R4 tranny from my 4x4. I put an output shaft in it. I had a big

on my face for the first time in a long time. Now I just need to get it buttoned up so I can drive it.

Got sick and tired of the POS aftermarket replacement turn signal not quite working right, so I took it apart, figured out how it works and modified it. Now it does what it's suppose to.

If you hear the signal but the dash light isn't flashing unless you push the turn signal up or down, this might be your fix. Test it out before putting the steering wheel back on, it takes some tweaking to get it just right.

Started the process of wiring the dash cluster. Still need to send off the Tachometer to have it modernized, you no longer need a transmitter unit with the upgrade. The only change I would make now is that I would not order the gages with the Dolphin, they did not make them that way 5 years back however.

I tested the clock and will prob. have it upgraded as well. There service cleans and polishes the bezel and make the movements quartz.

After a very long year I finally put some paint on this thing. Turned out very well, I'm pretty happy with it.

Last night I completely disassembled my brand new 4BBL carb and cleaned it thoroughly because when I assembled my AN fuel lines I forgot to clean out one of the lines after cutting it with a dremmel tool. All those little rubber and metal fines sure can make a mess of a carb and you'd be surprised how much just one cut will generate.

Imagine what they would do to a cylinder wall if they made it that far.
