Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
and I ran out of line, I guess 15 feet was not enuff, so I gotta buy another spool to do the rear drum brake line run, not all the way back to the rear axle just to the transmission crossmember

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
always happens, bought 30 feet of ptfe line for my fuel lines on the camaro so I could also re do the return...yup like 7 feet short... Engineering math, point A to B is 12 feet, add 6 feet for extra, be short 7, the hell??

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
yes we are going with a Grant steering circle on this truck, and yes I own 7 different Grant Chevy truck specific mounting kits, and NO none of them fit this steering column
this is just for mock up anyway, and will have to come apart for spring cleaning and painting eventually |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
clocking the steering column was next, and Patrick left no stone unturned, pointing out things I didn't know existed
so first this rectangulizer points North and has the brake pedal bracket nipple go inside of it (I love these factory hints for assembly) |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
he also pointed out a few other things, but I wasn't paying attention (I don't like people telling me what to do, especially when I call them for help)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
So now I know it IS normal for the bell to spin a bit on these floor shift columns. Thanks for checking that for me. When it comes time to tear down this column, please let me know if there is a foam donut inside it down under that curved cover at the bottom end.
