Re: 70 Short Stepside

Thanks guys. I finally got my power steering worked out. New pulley solved the problem. Tomorrow afternoon the weather is supposed to be nice, so I plan to get the cab primed

Flashed, I hope it helped. Anybody that has done it will tell you to try and buy a complete setup from one vehicle, all brackets and ALL pulleys. Having done it the hard way, I can tell you, that is great advice. If I can help with any pulley numbers, let me know.

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Can someone tell me the purpose of the bolts at the front and back of inner rocker to the cab supports. Were they there originally to hold things together for alignment. I can't see any purpose for them now if everything is welded together.

I cant say what the purpose is, but I did the same thing you’re considering. Get everything lined up and weld it in.


Nice build...glad you kept the L6

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Rich, I am going to go ahead and use the bolts, peace of mind. I like the 6. Staying original for the most part

Mcbassin, thanks.
