[99 to Life]

5-23 weekend

Scored a set of rims and tires from a 58' biscayne. These are 14" g78 bias tires.
The backspacing wasn't too good so I had to run the spacers in the front. The
rear clears about .5" on each side, so I'll prolly get spacers for it too.

Got the bed all moched up with running boards

Got steering pretty much situated. Went with stock wheel and column. Used two U-joints from a chevy conversion van. The bottom bolts right onto the
steering box. The top one we had to weld in some pieces to make up for the
extra room. Then we ground down the original shaft to make it square instead of round. Got a sealed bearing from Fastenal, scored the original tubing and pounded the bearing it. It gives the shaft more support. Over all it works well. There is a little play up top. I think I will eventually get a bearing for it too, but it should work fine for now.
