I find it funny how us un trained guys can figure out how to make their products better and more useful. And are the grease monkeys they build them for

i would have to say that i agree with you guys . it takes a AMERICANS to do it right . the way we were going to go is with the 90 tropper 4x4 stearing and just change the tie rod ends , but the center link sits on top of the pitmen arm and it got into the oilpan . Im pretty sure that with the stock engine it well bolt right in with tie rod ends [ napa # 269-2918 ] , or for sure it well fit in the 4x4s . the frame rails on the 90 tropper at the front of the chassie are the same as all the luv frames [me4surment wise , so i would say that all the troppers are the same atleast up till 90 . you must use the idaler arm as well . OR just get the box and cut the hub off the piitmen arm and weld the old luv pitmen arm on . get it done by a pro , this is what keeps you going in right die-rection , have it tig welded and you wont have any problems. hope this helps

doors on and ready to put the guts in it

The truck looks great! I'm really diggin' the silver.

Kelly does awesome work! I have been over to his house and seen it first hand. I need to post some pics of my 76 convertible. Kelly is going to help me with a crossmember for putting in the 4x4 5 speed I'm doing.

thank you for the comps. tony

got the steering column made and the stafts to the box made

the steering column is a piece of work . from the 90 tropper power steering box , the shaft from the box to the column is a 2000 nisson frontier , the lower shaft is a 90 tropper and the lower housing is 75 luv . the upper haft of the shaft and housing is 67 chevy . when i take it apart for paint ill get some better pics . the pump is a 90 tropper .i allso got the headlight , markers ,turn signal and the wirers ill need for the fan all in and hide , go ahead and find them .thats what youll see when were all done no wirers to be seen under the hood.

that thing is looking great!
its the details like hiding the wiring and the customized steering setup that make these builds fun to follow. something a little different every time

the steering column is weldedwe made a washer to fit over the 75 tube and in side the 67 tube so it would keep a straight line through the tube the coupler made it all possible

Very nice looking project you have going there!
You did a super job on that firewall and floor pan!
Waiting for updates!

Is that the trooper pitman arm on the PS box? or was you able to install the stock LUV on the PS Box? Maybe I have the wrong PS box because my shaft on the PS Box is larger?........Please advise and explain thanks!

Hello sdeiter544 thanks for the intrest . the pittman arm hub that bolts on the tropper box stays , then cut the luv pittman arm . remember to take alot of measuerments and right them down . pay close attention to the up and down of the pittman arm so as not to hit the frame as you turn . the best way is to have a 2nd luv pttman arm so you can get the up and and side to side correct . the pittman arm is made of cast steel not cast iron so welding is easy . BUT I WOULD HAVE A PRO TIG WELD IT . I hope this helps if not ask again and ill try to come up with the right answer .

whats the name of that color u use? its a nice silver!! keep up the great work!!
