Re: 1972 SWB Build
I’ve been piddling with the truck all week. I was able to get to the hydraulic shop and have a high pressure line made. I set the engine back as far as it would go on the motor adapter plates. This worked out perfect for everything except the high pressure power steering line. No matter how many ways I tried, I could not get the stock line, new ACDelco line or the LS line to git in the space I had. I build conveyor systems and we use a lot of hydraulics on our conveyors so I got to talking to my guy and he said bring it in. This is what we came up with. I left the metric fitting in the pump, adapted to -6, right angle an over to the pump. At the pump, we were able to weld a -6 fitting on the stock hard line. I think it worked out great.
The truck is back on the ground and ready to move to the lift so I can finish up on the bottom.
Really close now!
