Power steering questions AGAIN! Lol

Ok I have a 89 Toyota power assist steering box ( I have a brother who is a Toyota landcruiser nut FJ-40's are his thing) and I was wondering if anybody has used an electric power steering pump, for such a modification? I think most cars that use such pumps are smaller, so would weight be an issue? ...

Re: Dual reservoir Master with Booster

So if I was to do this on a 64 f-100 what year bracket, booster/ master cylinder combo would I look for? I plan on keeping it 4 drum brakes for now, as I just went through them and they are working great now!

Steering wheel questions 64

I am thinking of replacing my stock wheel with a Flat 4 spoke sprint car type wheel, I know I will have to bend my turn signal wand, and I also plan on moving the shifter to the Floor. I'd love to see some pics of wheels you are running in your trucks. And brand you have used, and adapters. Thanks i...

Re: Power brake add on. What to use ?

Good info there. I was just curious if there was a master cylinder to use to make my original set up power drum brakes. Really don't want to do a disc conversion at the moment. So I guess 76 ford f-100 m/c and power booster would work. Am I correct in thinking this?

Re: NEWB with a 64 Shortbox Fleetside

Rick thanks, I have since added U.S. wheel steelies to it with 40 something stainless center caps. I'm very please with how it looks now other than the high altitude stance on the rear. I have to drop it a couple of inches this spring to get it right. The trucks is very solid and straight, and by fa...

Re: NEWB with a 64 Shortbox Fleetside

Update. Lol only a year or two late. I still am running the original manifolds, but a guy in Cali found me a set of ram horns for a hell or a price, so com spring I am going to duals. Long time coming for that. I switched the shift tube, and still have a sloppy shifter. I had a buddy who does vintag...

Re: Sloppy 3 on the tree in my 64

The cab bushings are original, and in marginal shape. I really need to replace them. Who sells them? I have yet to find a good company to deal with on this truck. I'm open for references. Haha

Power brake add on. What to use ?

Wanting to make my 64 a little more user friendly ( wife and kids wanna drive it) at the moment it stills is running drums on all 4 corners, is there a power boosters and master cylinder out there that is a bolt on? Maybe off a later year truck/car. I plan on upgrading to disc eventually, but figure...

Re: Y block starter question.

You can also take a small piece of lead out of a wooden pencil and put it in the groove and turn the bendix and it will jump back in place. A old part man showed me that trick about 1957 in TEXAS. Hope some of these tricks help. Which groove are you speaking of! I am very curios of this method just...
