What is the best way to adjust the slack out of the steering box on my 63 c/10? While the front wheels are straight I have a good 1/4 turn of play. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

To adjust it grab the joint on top that goes to the steering wheel. If there is any play in it loosen the lock nut on the bottom & adjust the bearing nut till the play is gone & tighten the lock nut. Do the same with the sector shaft adjustment on top of the box. Be shure wheels are straight ahead when you do this. Turn wheels back & forth & check for binding. Remove the center bolt on top & fill it with heavy gear lube.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 7 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 7 | Ret,
Thanks for your help. Might have to clean up the rest of the truck to match the soon to be clean steering box.
Thanks, again
