Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Very nice looking work. Your idea sounds good to me since they are run with a single belt in a serpentine system.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
That bracket turned out great! I bet you'll be just fine running a single belt for the whole system and it looks like you've got room to mount a simple idler/tensioner pulley later if needed.
Keep it up! ![]() |

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Then bent this little jog into the piece so it lines up correctly, then drilled a hole through both pieces and put a bolt through.

I was then able to put the wheels on and put the truck back on the ground for the first time in months.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
And since I was already outside I just decided to drill out the plastic pins and separate the collapsable steering shaft.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Well about a week ago the temperature dropped and now we're down to -10 celcius with almost one foot of snow on the ground, but I've still been making progress

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
I started with working on getting the framerail near the steering box welded back in place, so first I tacked it up

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Then I fully welded it up and ground it down smooth with a flap disk, it actually looks much nicer than the factory weld seam which can be seen to the far left

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
I also went to the hardware store and picked up some bolts that are the correct length, the steering box then got bolted in place for the second last time

I then cut the pre-existing solid shaft to the correct length
