Ah... sorry its been so long... Kept forgetting the camera!!!
The weekend was slow for truck stuff I owed a debit on sandblasting work to someone and ended up doing a flame job on his moped for him... Not my choice of color, pattern or manufacture but its not to shabby looking (was canary yellow and white before)!
Ok the truck... Most of this is the steering column work which has had its challenges to installing... I am using all of the columns switching and wiring which is made for 12V and being the truck is 24V I don't trust it... So its been a lot of relays and diodes to get it working safely and correctly... the only thing that really took some thinking was getting a Chevy turn signal switch to work the Deuce's hazard and turn signals in the factory harness... Thus far its been a pretty cool mod with zero hang ups... Errr.... Wellll.... Unless you count the fact that I have a cruise control knob staring at me which has no function... and Im thinkin... I can remove it... or I can use it... and... http://www.rostra.com/cruise-control.htm If I don't do it... it will eat at me forever!!!
Mike was asking for pics on the ordeal so here is what is going on... which I am sure will be out of order...
The end of the column shaft was removed for fitting a steering knuckle (which was fabricated when I was working on the power steering)
The lower mounting foot was also removed from the column so that it could be slid up the column 4.5 inches lowering the over column height in the truck...
I fabed up a bracket to mount it using the factory hole locations on the firewall, dash and steering column which is shown with all of the parts before welding.
The shafts were mated with a stub shaft inside and then the knuckle and lower mounting foot were tig welded on.
The last few are test fitting photos taken while figuring it all out and working over the beginnings of the wiring work... I painted the column a little while ago so tomorrow when it is dry I will get some pics without the dash showing the mounting locations and the likes...
The wench is ready to be reinstalled so I will get some pics of that in one piece before scratching it to hell and back trying to put it back on!!!
