    sloppy steering.

    Yeah I was lucky. No frame issues. The bolts needed replacing as they had the gear off at one time and used washers for spacers [emoji849] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    steerinng wheel 90 degrees out after gearbox swap

    Not really anything to go in to. Was an idiot mistake. I had the coupler on the steering gear shaft at the incorrect position Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    steerinng wheel 90 degrees out after gearbox swap

    I got one from a local salvage yard. It came from a 1986 2wd square body. I couldn't afford a replacement from the parts stores. The price would actually be more than I paid for the truck, or close to it lol.

    Problem fixed, mistake made with the rag joint. Rotated 90 degrees and boom.

    steerinng wheel 90 degrees out after gearbox swap

    Hey guys, I replaced my gearbox on my truck, which solved the loose steering, but I noticed my steering wheel is off 90 degrees. The truck drives straight, actually better than it did before thanks to the new to truck gearbox, but the wheel is driving me nuts, for obvious reasons. What's the...

    sloppy steering.

    Looks like the gearbox is just flat out wore out. The shaft that comes out of the bottom of the gearbox and connects to the pitman arm was chalk full of play. I could see it moving side to side within the steering box itself, and it looks like it had leaked, as it was cruddy likely from grease...

    sloppy steering.

    Is it something that’s best replaced if it has excessive play in it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    sloppy steering.

    Would that have any noticeable play if trying to move it underneath the truck? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    sloppy steering.

    If you’re meaning the rubber part at the steering column thats actually something that was perfect. No damage or tears in it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    sloppy steering.

    On my 82 C10 I took her for a drive, and noticed play in the steering. It felt like it wasn't steering the truck the first inch-ish of rotation of the wheel. I did a pre-check of the tie rod ends, and they're tight. With the truck off I can turn the wheel side to side with one finger. Thinking...

    Help! Carburetor on 250 I-6

    Thanks! I repainted it black, since that was the original color. Eventually I will repaint the engine. Can’t wait to drive the truck more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help! Carburetor on 250 I-6

    That’s really sharp. I heard what the six can do, and even though my trucks original six is long gone I want to keep the 250. It has a good sound, decent pickup, and heard it can haul with more torque. I upgraded mine to a 2 barrel. I heard they can give a little more pep. I eventually will...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I started to replace the worn out transmission in my truck, so I can get it on the road to help a friend move. Next stop, 4 new tires.

    Help! Carburetor on 250 I-6

    I came across your post, and had to read it all. Sounds like a fun project you have converting to EFI and OD. My 82 C10 has a 250. It's different. Not what you find every day. And I like that about it.

    Looking for wiring harness

    I have a 1982 Chevy C10 250 straight six, 350C automatic, and the wiring harness is a complete disaster due to cut, broken wires. Looking for a replacement harness for the truck. Anyone have one that would work?

    Did a trial fit of my new grille. I must say it looks better than I expected.

    Chevy 250 carburetor swap

    Eventually yes I’d like to but cost is a factor currently. My main thing is not knowing what kind of 2 barrel to go with so the cables will hook up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Chevy 250 carburetor swap

    Hey guys, On my 82 C10 it's got an engine from a 1976 something, and had the integral cylinder head replaced with a non-integral head. The head has the monojet installed. The cables aren't routed correctly and been rigged. I'm wanting to see about a 2 barrel carb install. I know most rip out...

    Solid pedal but light on

    As much as I'd hate to admit it, it is possible. I want to first try bleeding the brakes again to see what happens.

    Solid pedal but light on

    I'm hoping I can re-bleed the system and get the light to reset. I really don't want to replace various components to fix the issue. Something isn't quite right though. After draining and refilling my transmission the brakes wouldn't hold the truck, unless I stomped on the pedal.

    Solid pedal but light on

    I’ve not had a chance to dig back in to it. Pedal felt solid but won’t hold the truck. I’m thinking it’s got more air somewhere. I’m going to do a full flush to purge all old fluid and see what happens Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
