Re: 1970 c10 lwb

Got a little more work done this weekend. Had a brake line leak at the proportioning valve...bad job flaring. Ended up cutting out and replacing the line for the rear drums. Spent some time getting the steering column back in and adjusted to where it would fit me well. I had the wrong U joint from Flaming River (would fit a stock GM column but not the spline output on the Flaming River column), hoping to get that resolved this week.

The Flaming River cradle is designed for a V8 application, mine is a 250. It looks like I’ve got a sheet of paper clearance between the oil pan and cylinder on the passenger side. Planning to shim up the motor mounts and buy a little wiggle room.

If anyone has tips on putting the aftermarket connector on the column wiring, I’m all ears. I’m having trouble accessing the wires well.
