I need help! the steer shaft is gone... I think

[raylanr]

You did. And I have tools on top of tools to do it. Saturday will be best for me.

Awesome! What time do you want me to come get you? or you want to meet there... the least I can do is drive!

Any time after 9 is good for me.

Do you want to meet there or where should I come get you?

Whichever is best for you Frank. The things I need won't take but a second to get.

I was thinking, since I will be there and you will be there, maybe you can help me out, picking up the AC components for the truck too... mine the previous owner took everything off and it will be nice to have AC working for the next summer...

Send me your address in a PM. I will come get you.

How much you think it will cost to get the AC components?

So we went this morning, the first column we pulled was splined (i had forgotten the difference from the outside) so we got one from a 1983 K5 that was nice and tight. Paid and went back to his house and I noticed the real problem: ALL FOUR bolts had backed off the steering box, only ONE was still threaded in and only half way at that. 2 were completely missing. So after running a few places to find grade 8 bolts for it with no luck, we ran BACK to the junkyard and got some. Plus he got a real nice overflow tank.

It just got too late to work on the truck so we'll be doing it another day.

We also will be doing wrench a part at least once a month. It was great hanging out with Jay.

I went back today and got the pedal setup as that row was doomed this week and I won't have a chance to go back until later in the month.
