"No Budget" 1966 Valiant 100 straight axle GASSER
Yeah, but it looks to me he does`nt have any linkage hooked up, plus I dont see a drag link. Maybe it`s just out of view. Cross steer seems to be the way to go, to rid the dreaded bumpsteer. I found a few sites showing guys welding to factory steering arms, cutting and welding pitman arms, etc.etc. My ride`s gonna be a street poser and this stuff worries me. Strip only car, you could probably get away with that, if something broke, the public would be out of harms way. You see some of these street freaks sprung way up there with a friggen serious offset drag link, just seems like it would flex too much to keep any alignment correct. I`m gonna search the yards and hopefully find a a-100 steering box, "fat chance" and just use column shaft extensions and no more than 2 U joints? Bad bumpsteer could throw you into oncomeing traffic:shock: Or maybe I`m just over-reacting? Anyhow modifying factory steering geometry could be serious trouble. Where`s all the old farts that done this back in the day? Come on you gotta be out there!! Well I`m hitten the junk yard, nothins getting acomplished settin here peckin on this damn keypad:-DI asked a few questions at H.A.M.B, didn't get any replys, so I said screw em'.. Since I'm ditching my K-frame I think I'm going to do like Bronxmopars did on his 66, use a GM saginaw box then extend the pitman arm after everything is mounted, these manual boxes can be found on 1982-93 S-10 and blazers for about $30.00 if you look hard enough.. I'm a long ways off from the front end mock up, but the box is a good investment even if you didn't use it you can sale it on ebay to the GM G-body and F-body guys for $60 or $70.00 ( I always think ahead )... Here's the one on Bronxmopars..
