Thread: Rack & Pinion on a S10 chassis

Tweet

It's been awhile, but wanted to post a couple pics of where I am on the truck. I finally decided to go with a flaming river vega box, it solved all the clearance issues, anyway heres the pics:

It's kind of a pain because the rack has to be front steer and very narrow to work...I looked at several and the best deal was a Mazda miata.. You will still have to shorten the tie rod ends and bore out the spindles.. Now I have room for the NASCAR style radiator I wanted to run. Before that I could only use one from a 4 cyl cavalier. Didn't get it done with my 440.

Hi very nice truck. Sure would like to see more pictures? I am building a 39 ford truck on s10 frame. Will be using 302 ford, c4, and blazer 4x4 rear diff. Really nice man cave. Your truck is right on. I like the way the frame is done. Thanks for the pictures. 40Fat.

There was not enough room for a manual GM or a Vega box on my '37 Dodge pickup, had to cut the frame back to the center of the sway bar mounts. I was told that original Vega boxes were not strong enough for my application, Flaming River boxes are much stronger than the original Vegas and are a great option. I do have a Vega box on my '30 Model A Tudor.
