Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)
For anybody who can help, I posted this over in on of the power steering conversion threads, however I haven't gotten any feedback.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=438509&page=3 My dad is working on my truck in MS & is having some issues with the idler arm. Now I went the more unconventional route I suppose. I have the original '66 centerlink, a new '66 idler arm, new '66 outer tie rods (for inner location), new '72 outer tie rods (for outer location), new '72 pitman arm, POL conversion sleeves, & new '72 P/S gear box. My dad says that the idler arm won't hook up to the centerlink correctly. He said it puts the centerlink in a position so that it hits the crossmember. I saw where this was questioned towards the end of page 2 & top of page 3 on the linked thread above. From what I understand, the '66 idler arm should work. Can anyone shed some light on what he might be doing wrong? Thanks! I'm excited that progress is being made once again & don't need anything slowing him down!!! ![]()

Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)
Dad snapped these for me today. Not great quality, but what can you expect from a regular ole camera phone...just glad I finally have more pics to add
![]() ![]() And for anyone needing to know, the nut on the P/S gear box shaft is 7/8". The new '72 gear box didn't come with one, so I had to do a little research. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)
Thanks Phillip. There is no telling how many times i've been through Corinth. Living in Florence and driving to our home office in Collierville Tn. I went through there quite often.

Not sure if you know of him, but I had Joe Keenum in Muscle Shoals pinstripe my old '93 C-1500. He also did some striping on my dad's old Harley.

Yes Joe is a distant cousin of mine. He does really good work. Hopefully one day we can meet and talk trucks and our old stompin grounds.

Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)
Had a slight mishap with installing the frame sway bar brackets backward.
![]() This was a factory 1.25" sway bar from a '72, which I bought from member Tom (t korinek). Factory style frame brackets are from member Keith (darkhorse970), & the Energy Suspension greasable bushings/brackets are from member George (GMan69). Thanks to those guys for their contributions to "Black Betty!" ![]()
