    Factory column to mustang rack and pinion questions

    I didnt have to do any of this stuff. The truck was running and driving fine on the stock crossmember. But when you bag these trucks with the factory front crossmember and suspension, it leaves more to be desired. For instance, the truck wont lay the frame on the ground because the lowest...

    Factory column to mustang rack and pinion questions

    The plot thickens ... The new 30 inch steering column helped but didn't directly resolve the issue with the steering shaft. There are still some minor tweaks i can do that may get me there, i dont know...but what a nightmare. For someone to market something like this crossmember as a bolt in...

    Factory column to mustang rack and pinion questions

    Well i hope getting this 30 inch column installed will be the ticket to giving me the room i need for the steering shaft. Its a gm universal column so install shouldnt be too bad. Ill know soon enough i suppose!

    Factory column to mustang rack and pinion questions

    Thanks for the replies, the difference with this setup over others that i have seen is the upper a arm mounted on top of the frame rail and not on the side of the frame rail.

    Factory column to mustang rack and pinion questions

    So, I got my rack n pinion mounted and heim joint tie rod ends attached. And then discovered that the steering shaft is going to require some serious articulation to get setup and function properly. Something that wasnt mentioned anywhere in the plans and cad files that i bought for the...

    New bed side recommendations?

    thanks for the feedback everyone. This front crossmember build wasnt as straight forward as i was hoping, the steering in particular. I will post on that in the right forum. But sounds like its best i check my local yards and may end up going with the new AMD parts and go through speedway...

    New bed side recommendations?

    Been a while.. pulled my c10 in my new shop for some long overdue needed attention. Curious if anyone has any recommendations on where "THE" place is to get new bedsides. 1981 fleetside if anyone has a pair in Nebraska. But wasnt sure if anyone on here has had any recent good or bad...

    Differences in model years of LS motors

    As far as crankshaft fasteners go. When people ask: "how many bolts per main?" Just tell everyone "Uhhh, I got 30 bolts holding it in place, if that helps." :jawdrop: To keep 'chit simple go with a GenIII, you won't have to worry about DOD/AFM- Can be identified by the Valve Lifter Oil...

    Use donor cluster in LS swap?

    I rate it as being the steepest ive ran into, but I say that bc I have a problem is absorbing information I read. I have to read something 10x or more before I comprehend the information. but reading or better yet hearing information with illustrations to get a visual understanding. (videos)...

    What non 73/87 parts have you swapped into your squarebody?

    So you're wanting to convert from manual brakes to vacuum assisted brakes with the 99-up GM truck brake booster and brake master cylinder. (If I understood correctly, below is my best guess) I think the pedal pushrod will be appropriate with the booster/mc it is fitted for. The pedal throw in...

    Use donor cluster in LS swap?

    I'll add to that last post. You'll need to make corrections in the ECM. I use hp tuners. I pulled this info directly from the help pages Standard V8 Rear Wheel Drive Applications (1999 to Current) Insert your new tire and gear in the columns on the right. If your tire height has not changed...

    Use donor cluster in LS swap?

    There should not be anything more than the wiring. One thing specific with the vss (vehicle speed sensor) wiring is that they need to be "twisted" or "looped" together to prevent noise interference with other wiring. I think, the wires are to be twisted 2 or 3 times per inch. Not 100% sure tho

    What non 73/87 parts have you swapped into your squarebody?

    What did the brake master cylinder all entail? Anything difficult or pretty self explanatory once it comes apart? You use the booster as well? I'm considering yanking the brake booster/master cyl off my donor 03 Silverado. Bc my c10 needs one anyways, so might as well? Some guy used a s10 fluid...

    What non 73/87 parts have you swapped into your squarebody?

    So I am curious after seeing a few different odds n ends off different vehicles that seem to swap in as if they were made to. So for the sake of education and sharing a little knowledge, I made this thread. What I've seen. The obvious LS swap. To go into this further, the donor vehicle, an...
