Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step

I also did a bit of work on the frame. The 67 frame has no dimple for the power steering box. Rather than space the box away for clearance, I windowed the area then welded a patch on the backside. This gave the box plenty of room to bolt up in the correct location.

Preview of things to come ...picked up a set of seats out of an '11 Yukon on eBay. Both have full power and seat heaters. Found a wiring diagram on the forum with info on the seats, but nothing showing the pinouts from the main bus to the BCM and door switches. Ordered a manual from Haynes and when it arrived, it had schematics for practically every system except the seats. Wouldn't you know it!

Got word my powdercoating is finished. My friend in Sedalia will be bringing it to me on Saturday when he picks up some sprint car parts I machined for him. Included in the delivery are the wheels. Can't wait to see how they turned out. They looked very nice direct from being glass beaded. Sounds like the clear powdercoating darkened them slightly, but gave them a nice gloss. Will post pics when I have them. Still have to machine the centers but have all the material cut and ready, just need to make some chips.
