Hey u!!! I wanted to mention... a Power Steering gear box from a 73-87 Square Body will bolt right up to that truck! I had a 69 C/20 and took the Power Steering assembly from a 75 and installed it. It was a direct bolt in and with 3 turns lock to lock... steering with 1 finger was a breeze, Have fun yall !!!!!

Every time I see Garfield it takes me back to the 70s and 80s when I worked for an electrical contractor. He had a Ford 4x4 pickup with a utility box like that and I used it to make service calls to some pretty remote mountain top radio relay stations. We installed power to the radio towers and the battery backup systems. I think of all the people that sat behind the wheel of Garfield over the years and the work they did. The miles they drove, the sandwiches they ate, the places they saw. So much unknown history in that great little truck.

A tip from my underground lair: a large can (coffee, peanuts, Gatorade powder) is a handy thing for lug nuts to fall into when removing a wheel. BONUS tech tip! When torquing lug nuts (or removing), pulling up involves all sorts of muscles from feet, legs, especially back. Or, you could just push down on it with your weight.

Glad to see the Chev rolling down the road. I've had five 71s and 72s. Service Bodies are great. The way you are using the pickup I would cut open the inside bed of the front doors, put in a firewall across the bed, and make it a clean space (carpet). Sort of a mini sleeper. A place for clothes and suitcases. A 71 sway bar will fit on older rigs. A leather Cadillac Cimarron steering wheel bolts right on. My preference was the coil spring set up. Lots of traction and I have scaled mine at 10,000lbs on coils with the factory overload. Also had a C10, with tool boxes and ladder rack, that I autocrossed. Scared the hell out of the course workers at the stop box.

I would definitely blame the Louisiana roads for breaking the shock mount. I’ve driven that stretch of I-10 5 times each direction since the beginning of the year and it is brutal.
@robbyoliver4953 11 ай бұрын
I used drive I-10 a lot, years ago. Between Baton Rouge and Lake Charles it was really bad then and had ruts in the pavement from trucks running it. And not to mention the rain and water standing on the road. I lost control of my one ton unloaded due to water on the road in heavy rain storm. And I was not driving but 50 mph. The water didn’t drain off the road very fast. And I ran I 10 all the way across Louisiana all the time then doing hot shot trucking. I hated I 10. And the road wasn’t kept up well In Louisiana in the 1990s. I don’t know about now, I don’t drive it In Louisiana, in Texas tho I do a lot. It is pretty good in Texas.

A friend of mine got hit between the eyes by a flex fan blade that came off while his engine was running that came flying out. While he was standing by his truck after working on it with hood up and the engine running. Those things are not real safe. I know of many that came apart going down the road. Best thing to use is electric fan. Even tho those can stop working and let your engine over heat. My fiend did recover after surgery and stitches. Left a bad scare right down the center of his nose. Others died from the same kind of thing happening, I have heard ! I don’t use them at all now. Had one on a hot rod Mustang that I found with a blade cracked years ago. Inspect it often for cracks or lose blades. Never rev the engine bending over it.
