Are there wedge shims of some sort that corrects pinion angle for trailing arms?
If so, who makes them?

Your running a manual steering box , is it a rebuilt box , where did you get it from ?

yeah i like the manual box with a big steering wheel works great for me, i drive these trucks low and its real easy to tear up a fender with the power steering.

When driving them low like you said you do, how much turning do you have? Until you tear up a fender.

I see you are running stock arms, and pc/member. Would there be much difference running a pb drop member and pb arms, and what? Thanks.

Color combo on the engine looks good...works well with the raw Al (if you're leaving them that way). Gonna be easy to chase any oil leaks :lol:

Scary fast how quickly you're turning these out :metal: are you rebuilding the fleet or do you let some go at some point?

Thanks for the information. Not dumb, it actually makes sense when rolling but I bet the slow driving or parking lot turns give you good forearm pump. Seeing we are both in phoenix maybe I can get with you when I get to that point. Thanks again.

X2. I was wondering if you were running some Delmo specials, but I can't tell from the pics.
