I have also been thinking of keeping the EGR(?) pump on it since you never see those left on, and having someone fab brackets to keep the PS pump in between that and the alternator, which I also need to upgrade since it's only a 65amp. I'm guessing a CS130 at 100 amps could be the ticket for the two compressors. I have no radio, AC, electric fans... |

Re: PB bagged 69 stepside-because Leon asked...
I know, right?! I was looking for a beat up rusty box I could actually store some stuff in and throw some pinstripes on, but this caught my eye in a Sanford & Son-like junk shop I passed one day.
I just bought those power steering brackets, btw. Thanks lowlife99! |

Cool deal on the brackets!
What size tire are you using on the rear of your truck! It looks perfect!

Re: PB bagged 69 stepside-because Leon asked...
Truck looks great Jim, all you need now is to get your power steering hooked up and put some put some big brakes on there. It will ride alot more like the sports car you want.

Re: PB bagged 69 stepside-because Leon asked...
Thanks Keith! I've go to fix my sticky throttle too. I did the 71/71 pedal swap and ran a 2wd V8 cable. It's got a short loop in it and is hard as hell to operate. I was going to put the rod assembly back on, but I ordered a Lokar cut-to-fit cable and I'll try that first.
I did put disks in front, but I need to add a booster. It's way too crowded around here for "braking early" to be reliable. I have to figure out what booster to use to have clearance with the stock air cleaner on the I6. I hate the way the offset air cleaner thing looks. Hate it... Can a booster be mounted directly to the firewall without a bracket unnecessarily pushing it out? Last edited by Jimbabwe; 01-24-2013 at 10:38 PM. Reason: yes |

Re: PB bagged 69 stepside-because Leon asked...
Has anyone actually used one of those PS brackets? I ask because my recent purchase "stella mae" has a PS pump/alt bracket on it that Keith recently added(ps install is not complete) but I throw a serp belt after 10 min of driving as the alt pulley does not line up with the crank and fan pulleys. There is no way to shim it forward 3/8" so I am simply going to need a new bracket. I'd hate to drop the $ on one and have the same issue with the one currently on the truck.(sorry for the hijack, I'll start a thread with pics in the right forum)
Truck looks great! You don't have any extra "Step" stickers around by any chance do you? That is awesome. |

Re: PB bagged 69 stepside-because Leon asked...
Congrats on buying Stella Mae. A great looking truck, like everything else he lays his hands on, from what I've seen.
The description on ebay: "8) Plenty of front to rear adjustment for different belting combinations." Seems like you'd be alright. On another note, I have a Saginaw pump like the one in the ebay photo from my previous truck, but I want to use the pump I've seen on some other trucks with a narrower reservoir up top which I always see listed as a Chevy pump. Looks neater. I asked and the seller said those are also Saginaw. Thanks for the compliment. I do have more. PM me. Last edited by Jimbabwe; 01-26-2013 at 05:27 PM. Reason: yes |

Re: PB bagged 69 stepside-because Leon asked...
Yes, I'll see if my wife can get a pic shortly. My wife is a photographer and they were tough to get a good pic that shows the alignment issues due to PS pulley and upper rad hose. I'll get one over in the right forum later, gotta go take down Christmas lights.
