I am looking for a way to mount a rack and pinion to a stock 67 C10 crossmember. I have seen the Flaming River setup, but it looks expensive. How can I make a bracket to bolt a used rack in front of the crossmember, but low enough to miss the pan?
Also, what rack would be long enough to span a truck, have the right threads for the C10 tie rod ends, have the steering shaft in the right spot, and be tough enough to handle getting beat up?
It looks like all the MII racks need studs welded on the front crossmember to mount, and that would be fine, if I could find someone that will sell me a bracket with a stud on it that would weld to the front of my crossmember.
Now thats the type of DIY article I wish the magazines would publish.
