.......yet when you click to purchase you go to this page and its $949? http://www.nolimitparts.com/prodinfo...ber=3GC-FT-500 Which is it? Heck these days $100 won't buy much but when you put a bunch of them together (as in 8 and a half) it will. :lol: How about a package deal Rob? We buy the R&P kit, Rear shock relo kit, and the Adj. long panhard rod kit so we get the ride benefits of the full No Limit effort. |
Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Yea I wish I would have bought when he had his "pre-production" sale.

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
forum members get a 10% discount, we round it off at 849. Merry Christmas all year
|
Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Is there a code we enter for the 10% or do orders need to be placed over the phone to get the discount?
|
Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Rob, you are right. It is in my plan, just have lots of needs.

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Just read through the entire thread in one go.. I am inspired, but I live on the other side of the atlantic, would you be able to get me a shipping price for the $849 set to the Netherlands? My 69 C10 is stock with the small adjustment of a complete frontmember swap with a 73 so I could have diskbrakers i.s.o. drums..

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Hey Rob, have you had anyone who Z'd the frame on their 70s c10 and had issues setting up the steering? I have one in the shop now that has a 3.5" z'd frame
|
Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
I think it would be OK. the steering UJ angle would be less, thats good. Maybe rack /tie-rod clearance under the rail, depending on how it was 'Z'd'.

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Wondering if I can still run 15" steelie wheels with this setup.? Brother's site says 17" wheels minimum.
How about if I went with the No Limit wide ride.? Could I run my 15's then.? |
Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
I have 15in chrome rally's and didn't have an issue.
|
Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Is there a manual rack that will work in place of the power unit?
|
Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Our WideRide has 12" brakes - So, "most" 15" wheels will fit. We have had a few that we had to grind a little off of the caliper and the weld inside the wheel.
15" wheels should not be a problem with the rack and OE crossmember. We do not make this for a manual rack. |
Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Where does one order a replacement rack for the 67-72 c10? Mine leaks a little bit
|
Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
The racks start out as late model chevy truck (like 2000-2006 1/2 ton 2WD) We cut off the OE passenger side mount, and rotate the passenger side housing 180*. To fit up with the rotated housing, the formed pressure hard lines are custom made to fit. All of the consumable parts, boots, seals.... are from the 2000+chev 1/2T - Now, if it leaking with normal use, we will warranty it N/C. Just call for an RA # and send it in. We'll chevk it out and service it and send it back to you.

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
ok @robnolimit you mentioned it would or should work fine with a Z'd frame what about a stock pancaked crossmember (2in)? instead of bolting the bracket on could i weld it in place after of course making sure i was centered etc? any info from all would be appreciated or and other suggestions

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
ok no i have not raised the motor. i am in the build phase of the project so i can raise the the motor still if need be. I'm just hesitant on dropping that kind of scratch and not have it work for my application. i have also heard/read that the rack n pinion would interfere with motor mounts for the genIII motors do you have any knowledge of these rumors?
thx in advance again |

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
I used the No Limit rack with a LM7 (genIII engine) in my son's 82. I built my own engine mounts to set it back and the bottom of the LSA oil pan about 1/4" higher than the bottom of the front crossmember. I did not do a section of the crossmember, but raised it in the frame 1.5". I had to use 3 u-joints in the steering shaft with a support bearing, but it all worked really well.

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
alright I'm sold then rack n pinion it is

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
robnolimit,
I have installed an 84 Chevy cross member in my 46 Chevy short school bus. I narrowed the cross member 5 1/8". To ensure I didn't screw around with the geometry of the suspension the only thing I modified was the cross member. Do you have a rack & mount that will work for the narrower cross member? THANKS |
Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Hey Rob,
Is this R&P available for 73-87 C10s? |
