My questions: Should I rebuild it? I am quite capable I believe. It can’t be any harder than a 50’s manual steering or a hydraulic ram... Recommendations for a rebuild kit? Advice? This would be my personal option. Then I can paint it as I see fit, know what’s in its heart, save money, get satisfaction, etc.
Core exchange it for rebuilt one? This seems stupid if I can do it, and ridiculously expensive for what you’re actually get. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 | The PS box you have will have metric fittings. I think SAE went up to 1979.
I don’t have any info on rebuild kits. | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,067 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,067 | The PS box you have will have metric fittings. Don't you mean metric FASTENERS? Tubing fittings will still be fractional sizes (they are on my '99 truck).
