Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England

A quick up-date on progress,

I've finished the power steering pump install, the modified bracket is on and works great and the pulley (which is not included in the kit) is fitted and lines up spot-on.

I also managed to get the drop arm, idler arm and tie rod fitted without any fuss, however the kit also doesn't include the pitman arm nut (so don't throw your old steering box away until you've removed the nut Martin)

And today my "new" control arm arrived, all the way from Albuquerque New Mexico, kindly supplied by Michael Bustamante, a top bloke air freight courtesy of Langy's rod Shop and sourced from this very forum. Oh and thanks to Don for the sound advice a week or two back
