Re: Column drop/steering box rebuild questions
Assembled box today and I ended up using 2 black shims, 3 blue shims and 1 off white shim for a total of .062”. Box was built with new worm, new races and new bearings.
Does that sound about right?

Column drop/steering box rebuild questions
I am about to reassemble my 34 pickup column drop after cleaning and repainting it but had a few questions:
What lubricant(s) is recommended to use on the internal moving parts of the column drop?...

Re: What are these 34 Cab floor holes for?
I have more questions on how the back rest mounts to these bottom brackets and what holds the top of the back rest in place?
And where does one buy these bottom clips?

Re: What are these 34 Cab floor holes for?
So I have a follow up question on those 3 vertical support that go into the holes in cab floor? Do they extend through the hole and the end of it rest on the frame rail? Or just extend into hole just...

Re: What are these 34 Cab floor holes for?
Yes closed cab. Closeup picture is of passenger side.
That makes sense but the cab wood I removed didn’t extend to those 3 holes. They must have been cut off or rotted off. And those...
