77 K5

Here are a few Pics of my hi-Steer/Crossover steering install so far. I need a shorter center link (getting that today)

right on man keep um coming

HAHA.. When I was building the Migo my draglink was too long.. so I cut it and butt welded it then sleeved it and welded it again... it's held up so far!

how come the arms wernt fairy blue when i saw um
lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks good...a lil muddy but good!

ready for the con this weekend?

Nice.. yeah, I don't wash it anymore. I guess I should..

I am trying to be ready.. I got my centerlink swapped out today. Now it is just that damn pressure hose. It is going to cost 80 buks that I don't have..

Nice... I'm diggin the blue

I was able to install the pressure valve from the later model metric o-ring hose set-up into my existing P/S pump. So I was also able to install a stock 83 K5 metric o-ring pressure hose also.. So that fixed my hose issue. I drilled the passage in the pressure valve according to redneck rams tech page. http://westtexasoffroad.homestead.com/powersteering.html

I installed the PSC box with ported top plate and end cap. Went to install the draglink and it was 5 inches too long. So I chopped off the end, cut out the threaded bung, re-inserted it into the tube and welded away. turned out good but i rolled a few threads (was till too hot when I tried to install the TRE) so I am on the hunt for a cheap 7/8-18 tap to clean up the threads.. DOH! I'll get some pics up later today or tomorrow.

ha ha, well, no pics yet, but i did finish the drag link. I ended up having to cut the threaded insert I welded on and replace it. I guess I welded it too hot and distorded it. well, now I can make my final adjustments and weld the ram assist tabs on tonight and paint it up all purdy again.. I'll get some pics up later today..

I finished installing the ram and pressure lines. Now I have to add the cooler, return lines and fluid.. Now I have to build a new engine cross member to clear the draglink.. Does it ever end?? Here are some pics..

Speaking of never ending, here's what's next..

oh, wait, wrong next..

Took the blazer out to PC for its first run on the Hydro assist and High steer install. Worked good. I need to figure out how to get a little more from the pump now, but I was actually ably to steer on the rocks now..

Click on the link under this post I have pics.

I am about half way through the doubler install. I have the range box assembled, the 205 is back from the machinist. He cut the input bearing hole bigger to accept the 32 spline input and bearing. now I am building the tripple stick shifters from scratch. Here is how it starts.






The 205 is back together again..

Now I am mocking it up on the workbench so I can build the shifter assembly.

Shift linkage is done, well, almost.. Doubler goes in the truck Saturday..

Chris that's GREAT!!! Can't wait to see it in action!

good progress bro

This will be here friday..
