So, more on the steering. I found a set of early 70s SBC manifolds and the driver's side is curved right around the steering box perfectly! Just like I envisioned it and keeping with the factory appearance. This offset move the box out 3" from center, and as a result the intermediate drag link is not going to line up. I had a new one fabricated up with the original balljoint ends and the look is pretty convincing. Geometry stays the same too. The column will connect with u-joints. BUt we're getting ahead of ourself! One post at a time... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
Oh, and that "75"? That's a large factory marking. I have a few other pics from others who have the same thing on their truck. Of course I'll replicate that, but in paint. That's actually bare metal (etched)!!!!
