Is the new plan for 14" steam boat captain gonna sail it down the mighty mississippi, into the gulf and down to florida? Because I can probably find a way to get it towed from my neck of the woods to orlando if so.

Wasn't there some talk of getting modern-ish wheels/tires for it? Or did you find a tire shop willing to risk life and limb?

If so I hope they got a block heater for their massive brass testicles. You couldn't pay me to gently caress with 50 year old split rims.

looks like bashing those headers in will get you an inch or two of movement. Is there an alternative pre-bent arm available that fits on the splines on that box (eg something from a different vehicle) or something that is already handed the other way round at the bottom? I had similar to this when i swapped my truck over to power steering but there is a different arm that fitted on my box and lined everything back up

djdanno13 posted:So we really need ai help on this one. Online sources talk about moving the steering box over a max of 1.5 inches. Apparently they were using different headers however and the closest we can set the box right now is 3 inches which is literally touching the header. Take a look at the included pics but the biggest issue by far is the angle on that pitman arm. It's maxed out. Short of getting a new manifold does anyone have any ideas? This is like project ending type poo poo right here so we really need all brain power on this one. Thanks guys. So, I've dug into this a little.  Since I'm unclear on the names of these things, I'm going to refer to the arm between the yellow circle and the red circle as the "pitman arm". The linkage with dashed green on it, between the red circle and the blue circle I'm going to call the "drag link". Earlier I was talking about flipping the entire pitman arm to connect to the drag link on the frame rail side of the arm. like so:  Unfortunately, it's not that easy, the drag link is 'handed', the current one won't work. As best i can tell under the nut (yellow in the picture above) is a splined ('chevy' splined- 32 splines total, but at 36 spline spacing with four fat splines at 90* intervals) hole that is not tapered. Is there clearance for the arm to go the other way, so it schwanks towards the frame rail? Also, as best I can tell, there isn't a taper (6 degree for chevy?) anywhere on the pitman arm, instead there's a ball that's pressed and peened into the pitman arm. If the arm can flip around the splining without hitting the steering box or the frame rail, you'll need a new drag link that has a twist the opposite direction left vs right handed?. If the arm CAN NOT flip on the splining, as I see it, you have a few options: * Press the ball out (details linked above), which sounds like a bit of a bitch, and press a new ball in (near the bottom of linked page) on the frame side of the pitman arm. As an aside, what happened with the ball end dealie for the clutch fork? That site, classicpartsusa has those too.. * Give up on the pitman arm you've got right now and order a pitman arm (ideally a FLAT one, without the schwank the current one has so you can set it up with the large end of the tapered hole towards the frame rail, but, if you can work with the zig going towards the frame rail side, you could run it inside out) from a 54+ steering box with a tapered drag link hole (as best as I can tell with a quick search, the splining is the same, should swap right over) and use an adjustable tie rod sleeve to deal with the left handed nature of the drag link you'll need- I say this assuming the drag link hits the steering linkage proper via a tapered hole (the interface in the blue circle above). It's really early, and there isn't any caffeine in me, but does that make any sense? Also, I have 24/7 access to a fully stocked machine shop so please, don't hesitate to ask. Dave, I sent you a friend request on Facebook yesterday maybe. I'm Dan H. E: Could this work? http://www.classicpartsusa.com/category/1951_Truck_Parts_Pitman_Arms E2: no, it won't, or not well, that's a short rear end arm for a power steering conversion. E3: if you get the hole to hole length right, this should do ya, tapered for a tie rod end on both sides: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Corvair-Pitman-Arm,37582.html E4: of course you'll still have to fab the mount for the steering box itself, but that seems easy enough... glyph fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Dec 10, 2016 |

I still think bashing the gently caress out of those headers is by far the best solution, for this hack that is only intended to last a few days of driving to Florida. vs. buying expensive replacement parts and machining things and paying for shipping etc. and hoping everything links up right and fits well and winds up steering straight. Like go ahead and choke off 50% of the flow of those headers if you have to, this engine will get the truck moving on four cylinders if you need it to.

perfect. And you have a big bed to put the hood in so it doesn't get all burnt up by exhaust on the ride home. attaching Van exhaust/mufflers pointing straight up is optional

I mean... do you even have to have the headers? Can't you do without them / Isn't that what open headers are? I know it'd be loud, but it's not a library piece.

The o2 sensor really works better when it reads only exhaust. glad this means no steering fuckery at all is needed. SSS saves the day... and Raluek, I think, not sure if he was talking about the aftermarket headers or the factory parts.
