Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
The x-m should have holes for both
So, yeah that's kind of strange. Mine had a similar bend in it.nothing the BFH won't fix. That framerail bow is different! I assume the frame is square ??(+- 1/8"). It may interfere with your PS conversion plates(or not?),just something to watch for. Looking good so far Craig T

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
craig, the radiator support member being bent, i would guess the po might have put a tow hook there were the hole is to have somewhere to hook too, and bent it! the frame indent were the steering box was i wouldnt worry about it either! usless the frame is bent and you can take cross measurements to check that! i wouldnt worry about it, if you get the power steering bracket from captfab. and weld it in then that will be fine!! your truck is in alot better shape then some peoples trucks are, alot better then mine, lol!! anyways good to see some progress on the truck, have the other new parts came in yet??

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
That slight dent in the frame is likely from the bumper taking an impact, as the bumper brace is bolted to the frame in that area. If you can straighten it out, good, if not I wouldn't worry too much about it..As long as the steering box area is not bent.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
I was expecting my CPP goods yesterday, but the truck was delayed. Figured it would be next Tuesday, but low and behold there it was today. Very exciting... cardboard boxes and all you know Anyway, front and rear sway bars, 2.5" drop spindles, rotors, calipers, hardware, booster/MC/Prop Valve, hoses, 2" drop springs and matching shocks. Going to leave this stuff in the boxes until I am ready for it

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
I am considering this steering box from Truck Shop, what do you guys think... (especially you captain) Not having much luck finding a used one in a wrecking yard north of the 49th, and bringing stuff up from the good old USA would prove especially difficult from a wrecking yard.

CRGR, Can probably find you a replacement if you like, few donor trucks around up here, Doug Currie at Markdale Salvage, Markdale Ont. would have one for sure. Let me know if I can help you out.

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
That would be awesome! Thanks for the offer! I am looking at it a bit closer and thinking that repairing this one may not be the best idea. If you would check on that and let me know I could pay for it over the phone and ship it using my company's PURO account (passenger side).

Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
I can't believe there are no good wrecking yards around there. The pick and pull here is littered with '73-87 trucks and vans. A few older ones show up once in a while too.
I'd ship one to you, but it would get pretty pricey! Brian Posted via Mobile Device
