A 350 is a leaker. The manual shaft seal is sometimes the problem. When you replace that little seal take a rubber o-ring that is for a transmission of some kind which fits snug on the shift shaft and use it. Then put your new seal in tapping it down until it feels bottom. That will stop...

I wonder myself . The steering has the hole for a horn. The steering appears to mount in the middle of whatever like some pictures I have seen of those trucks. The wheels are later unless they were put on there from something else a long time ago. It may be some foreign job. I just a guessing to .

An early before 1920 delivery truck or electric rear engined car.

Yep.

I believe it is. But not sure. Don't have one in hand. But I bought a 2002 rodeo for the frame even though it is a nice SUV. Four used transmissions and my niece gave up on it and called me wanting to borrow my dolly to take it to junkyard. So after looking it over, wide frame, coils in rear...

I repeat ever seen one of these? It opens up steering thought. It is off a Isuzu like a Rodeo. The steering shaft comes out of dash to this little box in front of the rack which is in front and then it has a hookup back to the rack.

Suspension art.

You would have to be setting the engine back. It is one reason that I thought or this idea anyway to shorten the steering shaft. Long steering shafts act like torsion bars because they twist more than a shorter one.

I have seen cars with calipers in front.

I don't think it makes a difference for there could be only front or rear steer cars if it did. Once the angle is set in the spindle or the added steering hookup its set I believe no matter the side. If you were completely designing a new suspension you would have to take it into account.

Use the 3.73 with the 700 transmission. Want a bit better open road mileage go with a taller gear. That's my one and half cents, saving up to reach two. Keep the lockup working and higher stall the convertor(new one).

Had to think . Boy my head is hurting. Early Camaro or Nova gear box. The gear in the box must be opposite ground to turn right when turning right when behind the suspension. Don't have to dig a hole in frame! Other boxes might work.

I am new so don't get excited. I have drilled a hole all the way through a exhaust pipe that kept moving or slipping off and put a bolt and nut and another to lock on it. Where I didn't want to weld it. Often a self drilling sheet metal screw or two when needed will hold a pipe in place so...

Just turning the axle around would do that. The S10 does the angle with the upper control arm mounting. If the upper control arm was mounted straight or at a 90 degree angle to the lower suspension the spindle would turn without a tilt out towards the back on one side and a tilt in on the...

You would have to dig a hole in the frame for the box and mount the idler the same as in front. You would only want to do something like that if you were setting the engine way back. This would let you remove more of the frame in front so as to have wheels sticking forward. You would have to...
