Re: Project daily drivable 62 C20

Pretty much finished up the steering portion of the cross member swap. The last bit was to locate the idler arm to the frame in the right spot. I first installed the 62 idler arm and bracket just to see if it would work.

It does work but not like it really should. The idler arm pivot point location between the 62 and 72 is very close, but the 62 location will not fully allow the idler arm to copy the movement of the pitman arm. Along with that I also couldn't get the center link located where I wanted it with the 62 setup so off it came and the 72 idler arm and bracket went on as the final setup.
