Re: '47 Loadmaster COE (rebuild pictures)

9-16-2013
I've got a couple of questions if any of you guys own a 2000-2006 GM 1/2 ton. I have read they have R&P steering? This being the case is it front steer? Is there any reason why, with some modifications to the mount, the rack couldn't be rotated upwards so the COE steering could be connected? I don't have one to look at in my present location. Ant pictures would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Rob

You are correct Shannon, everything I've read on the COE builds says the same thing. Steering always seems to be a challenge. That's one of the reasons I'm looking at the late model a R&P unit, it may make it easier in this area. Of course there's the other reasons: LS/4L60E, Disc brakes, cable shifter and drive by wire. The latter 2 will help a lot with a mid-engine set up. Is this side winder unit you speak of some kind of a rack or a traditional style gearbox?
