I've been working on an 1937 Chevy 1/2 ton pick-up for a little over a year now.I bought the truck as pretty much just a shell but have since added a 9'' rear, 4.3l v-6 with a 700r4 and a rebuilt front axle with mono leaf springs that lowered it about 6'' with camaro hubs and big baer breaks.
The body work is mostly complete now and I'm starting to wire the fuel injected engine and get it running so that I can strip the whole truck and paint it.
I'm having a huge problem getting the steering sorted out though, not much room for a box and rack and pinion steering isn't for me.I have looked at all the magazines for a solution with no luck and have tried the internet bulletin bourds too.There doesn't seem to be any real hotrodders on the www as everyones solution is to ditch the straight axle and go with a mII setup.
If anyone out there has any ideas throw them at me,I'd love to hear them,
Thanks, Rob
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
