Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

So I installed the steering shaft bearing, not too hard to do. Just remember, you do have to shave the outside edge of the bearing collar so it fits the inside of the frame rail.........

Now the u-joints provided come with two set screws, one long and one short at each collar. I found it best to use two of the short ones on the side closest to the rack (for clearance issues) and the longer two in the middle as you see here........

I missed something when I was doing my inventory check, missing washers for the outer tie rods. No big deal though, I will just pick some up this evening......

Final thoughts for this install: Remember, this is NOT a bolt up kit. There is a lot of cutting, grinding, and drilling involved. I know most of the guys on here are comfortable with that, as for my self, going in I was apprehensive about doing all of this. It was l lot of hard work, but now that it is done, I do not regret the decision to go with the No Limit kit.
