I'm seeing new trucks parts in the near furture.

And maybe some time to work on my truck. Which truck? That I don't know.

Strodder · 04-20-2011, 10:46 AM

You need a really big truck to but that in. Where does the bench seat go?

Nice work Dave.

daverod · 04-20-2011, 02:17 PM

I was thinking you could use one in your shop. That way you would never have to leave.

Are you saying it would always be beer 30!

watahyahknow · 04-28-2011, 12:54 AM

you might need to add 2 extra joints in the steering now

watahyahknow · 04-28-2011, 03:11 AM

in other words if you can put a notch in the upper arm or change it to a tubular arm to clear the steering

daverod · 04-28-2011, 09:33 AM

Seems to be hitting it hard.

I have'nt really mounted the steering column.

I really don't want tube arms. I was looking for some pictures of how guys added a couple links. Could find any. I know I've seen some. I think they were for doing R&P though. Not to many people with pancaked stuff. I would say the shaft hits into the arm about 3/4 to an 1".

daverod · 04-28-2011, 09:54 AM

OK maybe it hit more. It would be a big notch.

At full up it touches. Last few are full down. Maybe a notch and a link? There does'nt seem to be a lot of room. Maybe zig it over to above the frame then back? or zig it up?

Strodder · 04-28-2011, 10:02 AM

Looks like you will have to do something like this. I'm a Borgenson Dealer if you need anything.

daverod · 04-28-2011, 10:10 AM

2 ujoints and a support bearing should do it.and a coupler. Pm me a price. No rush. or what ever you think I need. I knew I was being nice to you for a reason.

ruffrida2005 · 04-28-2011, 03:10 PM

This is what you need right here. http://www.c10forum.com/forum/showth...ghlight=Jeebus

Looks like $$$$

ruffrida2005 · 04-28-2011, 03:27 PM

There only $199 I think for the uppers, powder coated with ball joints for right now.

watahyahknow · 04-28-2011, 06:00 PM

those a arms look nice .......... wat you could try is raise the steeringbox using a realy thick and strong adapterplate that bolts intoo the original boldholes of the chassis and has studs to mount the box higher up doing it that way alows you to return to stock if this doesnt work .
it might even correct the steering geometry as you allready raised everything up the chassis that comes after the steeringbox ...... that is as long as the steeringrods and stuff comming of the box still clears the underside of the chassis after the raising

SCOTI · 04-28-2011, 06:13 PM

You can use a smaller diameter shaft & gain some clearance. That tube over shaft collapsible arrangement can be swapped for a 3/4" shaft. You'll still have to also raise it up slightly w/a support bearing & some u-joints w/the 1.5" notched x-member.

With my 1 1/8" notched/sectioned/pancaked x-member using OE arms, I cleared w/the smaller dia shaft (standard aftermarket 3/4" DD shaft). It only made contact w/zero air pressure.

ruffrida2005 · 04-28-2011, 06:46 PM

I say go with the MMW arms I posted. They will look cool as hell. I have his uppers for my s10.

daverod · 04-28-2011, 06:51 PM

Their web site doesn't work. Cant you get those arms w/ a stock ball joint?

ruffrida2005 · 04-28-2011, 07:26 PM

give his company a call, And yes you can get them with stock ball joints. He is rebuilding his site so that's why it's messed up.

daverod · 04-30-2011, 03:19 PM

Got my $hit jack up last night.

Raised everything 1". Everything clears. Well except for the steering shaft. Dont know ? Can I just cut the shaft to make it shorter or does it need splines in the end. The way it is now I don't think I have enough room to move it much.

Strodder · 04-30-2011, 06:52 PM

Hey Dave your idler arm should be the same angle as your pitman arm. Your going to be all jacked up.

daverod · 05-01-2011, 12:53 AM

How do you know I did'nt raise it too.

Strodder · 05-02-2011, 01:21 PM

I was just looking out for you. People need to know that. So stop being so lazy and post more pictures of everything you do. Or should I say almost everything you do. Some things should be kept to yourself.

ruffrida2005 · 05-02-2011, 03:59 PM

I think she was too smart for you Dennis. That's why she didn't answer.

Strodder · 05-02-2011, 06:06 PM

I think I figured it out. I remember now where my other hand was.

daverod · 05-02-2011, 07:39 PM

She looks nice but seems like a air head.
