COPY From The Welcome Forum:

Sorta new on here, Hey to all, from up-state NY

Maken a Panel Rat................................

Just put a 348 chevy w/350 auto tranny behind it.
Had to remove the ol steering column, steering box & drag link to do this. What is the best way to relocate the ol streeing box and drag link, sorta wanted to keep the ol stuff in the truck.

Was thinking of welding or bolting a large piece of angle iron to the frame to move the box toward the wheel, then relocating the drag link arm ball to the other side of the arm, to make it closer to the original location.........

Any input would be great,
Thanks,
Jerry

Changed Drge Link Arm Ball

Finally got the drag link ball out off the arm, put it on the other side, looks like that will help with the left turn limits, more to do today...........Will pst more pic's soon.................
Thanks for your input,
Jerry
