Pulled out my wiring harness, looked at it.

Put it back in the box.

Need to get some wood working crap out of my paint booth so I can paint my bedsides. Thought I might have to go sit in the Bankok Hilton, god man saw the light. Relief.

Put my fenders on. Got a cool tee shirt in the mail today. No sticker though.

Strodder · 03-09-2011, 11:49 AM

You got that one huh? Nice T-shirt.

ruffrida2005 · 03-10-2011, 05:15 PM

Truck looks bad A double crooked letter sitting there. I guess you didn't want to play in the box of pampers? It's actully very easy to install.

daverod · 03-10-2011, 08:46 PM

Just put 4k on my Lowes income tax card.

Other people$$$ making me some truck $$$. I'm tired after all that shopping.

Good idea Ruff.

ruffrida2005 · 03-11-2011, 06:34 PM

I cant wait till the 18th to get my free money from them. I have been to Lowes everday since Saturday.

daverod · 03-11-2011, 10:17 PM

I go twice a day. Even when they don't give away free money. I wish they did it all the time I would have all my trucks done.

daverod · 03-24-2011, 11:30 PM

Saw this today.

watahyahknow · 03-24-2011, 11:45 PM

hmmmmm the guy building the boss hog was mentioning he was looking for either a set of 10 bolt hubs for his front diff 8 to 10 bolt adapterplates for a 8,5 10 bolt pattern or a 4x4 10 bolt front axle for wheels like that
hes thinking of using a 10 bolt rearaxle out of a 3500 hd with 19.5 inch rims and the one he has is a 2 wheel drive truck

My manual steering gear box on my 64 has some play. I was thinking about putting a power steering box in it place. What would happen if I don't hook it up to the pump? Would it still work or would it wear out. I really don't want to buy a new manual box then down the road hook up my power steering.

protrash64 · 03-25-2011, 08:55 PM

It will just help you build more muscle than the manual box.

I would hook up the pump and enjoy the ease of driving. I started driving my '66 and it was a shock not having the power steering.

daverod · 03-25-2011, 09:23 PM

The pump and the bracket for a 292 is the problem.

I don't feel like spending 300 for a fricken bracket. I could use alittle more muscle.

I kinda like the manual, keeps the arms looking good.

66-PMD-GMC · 03-26-2011, 12:10 AM

It would seem to me in my limited experience that a power steering box without a pump connected would be much harder to use than a manual box.
I see L6 motors in trucks in the wrecking yards often. What is so hard about finding the bracket and who in the heck would pay $300 for it????
LM-c-somebody has later model manual boxes that could me hooked up with the adapter and a power unit changed out later...

daverod · 03-26-2011, 12:19 AM

292's are hard to find. Look on ebay they sell for 250 to 300 all the time. The bracket pump and pulley's. Way over priced if you ask me. Yet I just bid 215 for one and was out bid.

I think I'll live with the manual.

There is a 292 in a service truck that is next to a truck I am robbing parts off tomorrow.
I will check on the price and let you know in a PM...

Any year will work? this would be a early to mid 80's truck I am guessing....

daverod · 03-26-2011, 12:40 AM

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...eering+bracket. I don't think it would. It's got to look like this. Some old c60's have them.

The one in the 3rd pic is the one you want.

Won't hurt to look... $300 is ridiculous

daverod · 03-26-2011, 12:53 AM

Thanks

Strodder · 03-26-2011, 12:11 PM

Copy the $300 one, and make it yourself.

I have an extra manual steering box that sometimes gets used as a door stop you can have. You just have to drive to Boise to get it.

If I ever get one I'm going to make about 20 of them and sell them on ebay.

**Captainfab** · 03-27-2011, 01:37 AM

Making the pump bracket is one thing, but what about the extra pulley needed on the crank and the water pump? Would ones off of a 250 work? I don't know my I6's very well.......

Strodder · 03-27-2011, 01:50 AM

I don't either. Take some measurements.
