Re: Time for a Canadian build thread

I hadn't thought about notching the A arm. Thanks for that Idea. I could move the Steering box up, and of course could notch the frame for clearance.

I'm very tempted to switch to a power steering box and I'm not sure how that will change the geometry. The LM7 has a power steering pump already, I assume it's metric so could probably mate that to a 80's truck box fairly easily.

Of course the tie rod end angle is terrible when the truck it at full drop. Raising the steering box will help that. Has anyone gone with a larger tie rod end and reamed the steering arms so the tie rod end can be installed on the underside of the steering arm?

Or maybe I should just bite the bullet and pull the rack out of my 96 camaro parts car.... I feel like that could turn into another can of worms but would it be worth it?

Also fixed a thin spot on the air duct for the footwell while contemplating everything else.
