Anybody out there with Volare front suspentions?
Hey guys looking for some ideas on what to use for a steering shaft? I have been useing a sloppy home built one but it's time to do it right.
It's a 1964, with a 1973 150 4x4 colum and the Crysler box. The 73 colum uses the same u joint from 73-79 Any help would be great,Thanks.

I smeared bondo all over Aggie a few years ago. I was pretty much disappointed at the porous bubbly appearance after you squirt some primer over it.

I have a 460 Van 90 degree filter adapter on mine (forgot to mention that) will fit a small block too just take out the nipple in the block that the filter screws onto.Don't really like the relocator kits,too many hoses to fail and clutter things up. I was told that you can also use a adapter housin...

Thanks for feedback, i'm kind of kicking around manual steering also, but i'm a little concerned obut my wife having a hard time with it. Since i'm going with a small block maybe it won't be quite as bad. I also wondered about trying to adapt a rack and pinion to it. Been away from the computer for...

I was curious as to how your Track conducted itself co...

how soft is the rubber on those hoosiers? Im looking for a FAT ass tire that I can still get some decent miles out of and not have to replace as fast as say the hoosier street slicks that I used to run on my 71 camaro... they didnt last for squat. Still think my best choice is the mickey thompson s...
