Doing A few Up Grades

Well I got Wall-E out and running put a mile and one half on the speedo just to find out that there was way to much play in the streeing. So I am now installing power streeing. I did bushing all the way around while I was doing that I raised it a little with some new shackels and gave it some new treads. Also did the rear corners and cut back the wheel wells so I can fit in a little better. There was some spair steel in the shop so I made some steps and a swing out rear tire carrier. The Power streeing pump is now installed I use parts from 71 camaro 231 and a 86 C10 chevy pump had to cut and weld a little but it fit really well. The 225 only had a one groove pulley system so I added new pulleys to get the pump installed I used big block chevy 3 groove and cut it down to two groove pulley and drill in the 225 bolt pattern and put it on the crank and the water pump I used a ford big block long pump two groove pulley and a few spacers behind to aline all the pulleys had to move out the alt. 3/16" next step is the streeing box I am thinking about lowering just under the cross beam. That will be next week end Cheers Everyone

 

Any more pics of the notch you did to the wheel housing?

Here are a few of when I did the cut outs I have not finish them yet I used 1/8 steel plate and welded them back in I have a little more to do when I get home from work I can take few more. The cut was 5" x 6" at the top and I just fallowed that all the way down.

 

Thanks for the pics.

 

What type of tires are you running on that? the whole setup looks great!

 

Hi Ben I am running 15 x 10.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial on 10.5 Mickey Thompson Classic Locks I should have went a little bigger on the tires 15 x 12" it would have protected the rim better the next set ill go bigger.
