Steering measurement help needed
I need to relocate the steering/drag link into the original factory position.
The measurements I need are the distance of the center of the link to the front vertical section of the cross member and the height of the link relative to the lower control arm inner pivot bolts. If anyone has access to these I would appreciate the help. The reason I need these is that a 73-87 front end has been fitted to my 62 and the link is not parallel to the cross member and sits higher on one side and is further forward on one side as well....not ideal. Thanks |

Shouldn't be much different than the 67-72 considering they swap out the complete x-members all the time

Re: Steering measurement help needed
Thanks for the replies...
When the swap was done it seems that the later steering box or idler was not located correctly onto the frame. I do not know which is out. Fact is that the link is not sitting square in my 2wd 62 1/2ton stepside. |

Can you post up a picture of what is out of whack?

No, I cannot post pix. I don't have the technical know how.
I just know the link is not where it is meant to be... |
