Re: 1965 Stepside, The LST Challenge
Worked on the floor and the steering column a bit last night. Forgot to take my phone with me into the shop, so no pictures of the work I did get done.
The column seemed loose, so I worked on that. I got both bearings out and they are dirty but not damaged. I will get them cleaned up and regrease them to reinstall tonight. The pot joint seal on the intermediate shaft is shot and I don't have time to source a replacement. I will maybe make something to work at this time and get it all cleaned up.
By some dumb luck, I actually still have the original steering wheel and most of the horn button parts. The only part I cannot find right now is the oem horn button. I pretty sure I have it, just not found the right box yet. I can't believe that I kept it all these years...
There are things that I did as a teenager when I first got this truck that I am not happy about now, but you learn from your mistakes and grow from those. I'll snap some pics tonight of last nights stuff and post them along with tonight's work.
