Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

sure, we labored in the blistering garage all day yesterday only for it to completely cool off to only 105°F today

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

also got the brand new Grant steering circle installed

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

though I don't like how far it sticks out, I don't have a back seat to steer from

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I'm thinking eliminating the specialized riser all together

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

and we got ourselves, one finger power steering, completely CANable Free simply works in fail safe mode, (I believe this means the assist is the same regardless of vehicle speed as opposed to being progressively less as the speed increases in an actual Prius, oh well we'll take it)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

You must not be wearing a mask when you paint 😂 You dropped off a bumper for me on your way back from visiting your kid in San Jose.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Yes yes I did Mr. I Have More Trucks Than You, so sorry I totally remember now

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

the fender bolts come in two sizes, small, and these 3/8"-16 thread size x 1 1/2" long

so after hours and hours of cleaning, wire wheeling, and media blasting the originals, I decided to paint them with my wallet

thank you Batman!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

You’re making great progress. I thought you were joking about the bracket you cobbled together for the electric power steering, but once you mounted it then I realized it was legit.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

thanks, yeah it's a bit too fugly for even Good Enuff Garage standards so I plan on massaging it a bit, but it has to look that wonkey in ordrer to clear everything down there - and honestly can you tell me what your standard power steering pump bracket looks like, lol probably not right off hand as it is buried in there as well
