Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Hmmm, New close ratio box, $429. new inner and outer tie rod ends, $138.44. new idler arm, $47.35. thats $614.79 for the stocky way. So, for the low low price difference of only $234.21 (insert loud aussie voice here) you, yes you can have a better driving, quicker driving truck. Operators are standing buy NOW

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
whoa......price on this page says $849
Quote:
.......yet when you click to purchase you go to this page and its $949? http://www.nolimitparts.com/prodinfo...ber=3GC-FT-500 Which is it? Heck these days $100 won't buy much but when you put a bunch of them together (as in 8 and a half) it will. ![]() How about a package deal Rob? We buy the R&P kit, Rear shock relo kit, and the Adj. long panhard rod kit so we get the ride benefits of the full No Limit effort.

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Is there a code we enter for the 10% or do orders need to be placed over the phone to get the discount?

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Just read through the entire thread in one go.. I am inspired, but I live on the other side of the atlantic, would you be able to get me a shipping price for the $849 set to the Netherlands? My 69 C10 is stock with the small adjustment of a complete frontmember swap with a 73 so I could have diskbrakers i.s.o. drums..

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
I think it would be OK. the steering UJ angle would be less, thats good. Maybe rack /tie-rod clearance under the rail, depending on how it was 'Z'd'.

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Wondering if I can still run 15" steelie wheels with this setup.? Brother's site says 17" wheels minimum.
How about if I went with the No Limit wide ride.? Could I run my 15's then.? Last edited by kitsbeach; 06-05-2014 at 06:16 PM. Reason: more info |

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Is there a manual rack that will work in place of the power unit?

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
Our WideRide has 12" brakes - So, "most" 15" wheels will fit. We have had a few that we had to grind a little off of the caliper and the weld inside the wheel.
15" wheels should not be a problem with the rack and OE crossmember. We do not make this for a manual rack.

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
The racks start out as late model chevy truck (like 2000-2006 1/2 ton 2WD) We cut off the OE passenger side mount, and rotate the passenger side housing 180*. To fit up with the rotated housing, the formed pressure hard lines are custom made to fit. All of the consumable parts, boots, seals.... are from the 2000+chev 1/2T - Now, if it leaking with normal use, we will warranty it N/C. Just call for an RA # and send it in. We'll chevk it out and service it and send it back to you.

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
ok no i have not raised the motor. i am in the build phase of the project so i can raise the the motor still if need be. I'm just hesitant on dropping that kind of scratch and not have it work for my application. i have also heard/read that the rack n pinion would interfere with motor mounts for the genIII motors do you have any knowledge of these rumors?
thx in advance again

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
I used the No Limit rack with a LM7 (genIII engine) in my son's 82. I built my own engine mounts to set it back and the bottom of the LSA oil pan about 1/4" higher than the bottom of the front crossmember. I did not do a section of the crossmember, but raised it in the frame 1.5". I had to use 3 u-joints in the steering shaft with a support bearing, but it all worked really well.

Re: 63-87 rack and pinion
robnolimit,
I have installed an 84 Chevy cross member in my 46 Chevy short school bus. I narrowed the cross member 5 1/8". To ensure I didn't screw around with the geometry of the suspension the only thing I modified was the cross member. Do you have a rack & mount that will work for the narrower cross member? THANKS |
