    Rack and Pinion Conversion

    Well everything is brand new or rebuilt and I’ve only got about 500 miles on it. It also never sees rain or dirt roads. Maybe I’ll get the hose and a bucket of dirt and remedy that!

    Rack and Pinion Conversion

    I think it is around 2.7 turns lock to lock. It definitely doesn’t turn as sharp now. I forgot about that part. I’m curious if the Flaming River is worth the extra cost and truly is all inclusive and bolt in.

    Rack and Pinion Conversion

    The steering shaft included needs to be cut down to two pieces to clear everything. If someone is really curious, I can measure mine. It also will depend on your support bearing and exhaust configuration. Here's the final routing for mine: The shafts will need to be dimpled where the set...

    Rack and Pinion Conversion

    Decided to convert the truck to rack and pinion while the whole thing was ripped apart. Learned a few lessons along the way. I thought I'd share my experience. I started with the POL kit...

    Bucket Seat Tutorial

    I "just drilled" after a lot of double and triple checking measurements. No dimples to make things easy!

    Anyone used the old ash tray for something (else) that's interesting?

    I used mine to mount my Dakota Digital BIM. Easy access to program the gauges and fit perfect once I trimmed the tabs off of it.

    Been Lurking For Years

    I've been on the boards for a few years but haven't engaged much. I appreciate all the info you all unknowingly provided! I've made a few posts about some of my solutions for my LS swapped 86 RCSB that can be seen here...

    AN fuel line kits

    A few other tips: Use a pick to strip back the stainless mesh, your fingers will thank you. Use assembly lube on the fitting where the hose slides on. Use antiseize on the threads. Take your time. I wrapped the PTFE tightly with electric tape and cut it with a band saw.

    AN fuel line kits
