Re: "Midnight Rider" 1970 C10 SWB Fleetside

To try and make a trip to the body shop worth while, I decided to make my modification for steering to the spindles so they can be painted too. Piedmont Traction is still working out the concept, but it will require drilling out steering arm hole and tapping to 5/8-18 for use with a heim joint. I hoped to use the end mill to get it done, but I quickly realized the the steering arm is on it's own plane. This made it extremely difficult to do. So, I decided to use the tapping block technique that I learned with the Helicoil on my engine block. With an extra set of eyes, this worked out great! Now I can send these to paint with the other items.
