Re: Steering Column replacement

Lock the hubs, put transfer case in 2 Hi, 4 Hi, or 4 Lo, and it goes no where. Have it at the shop and one of the U-joints inside the axle, gave way and buggered up the shaft. Shop is trying to find a replacement. I am already in touch with Powerwagon 54 on possible replacement parts.

Re: Steering Column replacement

So, the steering column has been replaced. Huge props, high fives, kudos to powerwagon54. Did the Grant steering wheel install as well. Have to say that driving it is no longer an exercise in wishing for nothing to break. Now trying to figure out why the 4 Wheel drive will not engage.

Re: Replacing stock axles with newer

Correct, GMC and Dodge are passenger drop.
This chasis has the steering column, brake booster, power steering unit, drive shafts.

Replacing stock axles with newer

Hi, found a deal on a 77 Chevy Crewcab long bed 3/4 Ton truck frame. SRW 4X4 GM 14 bolt rear axle. 8X6.5 Lug pattern, rolling chasis. Was wondering if this would be an easy swap into my 1970 Dodge W200. This would give me power steering and disc brakes up front.

Re: Steering Column replacement

1970 W200, 318, 4 spd.
PO either cobbled together a steering column or something inside broke and they tried to use electrical tape to keep it all together. Steering wheel moves up and down about an inch with about the same side to side.

Steering Column replacement

Have to replace my steering column, appears to have been a tilt column, but was cobbled back together by previous owner(s). Can I take a steering column out of an 83 D100 and use it?
Any and all suggestions appreciated
