The sector shaft was leaking  which I could have fixed but the bearings were shot in the worm housing and you could feel it. Just not worth wasting the time with when I can get a reman for $95 bucks.

Very nice.  Black on black...so sweet.  Is that an aftermarket hood?  Or did you go to town on a factory style cowl?

Thanks! The hood is made by reflexxion dual cowl with the ram air scoops.

I got the steering box from my autoparts vendor. Anything for me he adjusts the price down to as low as he can. It's a price override he can do to price match :D He ended up just giving ti to me anyway since I do so much business with them :D Score

Man! I wish I knew you could convert long beds to shorts.. I coulda gotten a BRAND NEW bed from a friends wrecked truck for $100. And it had the paint job I was gonna do to my truck and everything..

Oh well it's a 4x4, kinda meant to be a long bed anyhow.

And it's funny, this WHOLE time I thought your truck was already a short bed. :P

Hey, good luck with the conversion. I have a 75 LWB that I am starting to want to convert to a Short bed.  I'll have to keep watching this thread to see how it goes.  I will definitely be asking you some questions about how it went later.

Have fun with your new short bed,
Jared

Vile,
couple of questions, 1st are you planning on marrying this g/f you got?If so you scored there again, and do you work at a machine sho[?Cause you definately know alot bout motors.If you plan on doing the frame section i dont know if you seen the thing on trucks where they took a 66 LWB and cut it into a swb and didnt have a section of the frame used to support the cut like 1 in a link here on the site.

thanks
pat

The 454 emblems I had a guy make but I think I'm gonna ditch them when I repaint the truck.

Marriage? You never know... The girl that lands this hunk a burnin love is gonna be one lucky chick!  ;D

I don't work at a machine shop but I have alot of engine building equipment including valve grinding equipment. Anything like boring, or resurfacing I take to the machine shop I deal with. I didn't see the episode but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve and the frame will be very strong and look nice when I'm done. I'm going to pop the cab off and replace the bushings since a few of em are splitting.
