Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
and after all that if I had to do it all over again I would not waste my time pulling it apart I would just cut it right at the join of the two cylinders, in order to expose the shaft

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so I figure I better mount the brake booster and the steering column before going any further with that Prius power steering motor, so before doing that we got to tear the brake bracket apart so that we can media blast it and powder coat it, everything has to come apart, but I think it will be worth it especially when we go diving under the dash to do some wiring

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
if anyone knows where to get quality bushings for the brake pedal assembly please let me know, but please do not mention Dorman
I installed Dorman junk in my '74 and those things did not last 4 months let alone 40 years like the originals, am I right fellas? |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so with the help of some gentle persuasion we liberated one of the lugs from my original bracket which I hacked up to fit the Prius power steering motor under the dash
... and I bugger welded it to match |
