Thanks alchemy I had read something about the side shims and new gear not fitting and low and behold even using the existing ones it's too tight!!!! I'm taking them to a machine shop tomorrow to have them ground to the proper sizing!!!!

Thanks I had thought about that but was concerned about the needle bearings??? I can use my tig if there isn't an issue with the bearings!!!

I am in the process of rebuilding the steering box for my 40 truck. I am looking for advice on the process to peen or swag the ends of the pin holding the gear in place???

Thanks that's what I am finding out!! You wouldn't by chance have a used taillight and bracket that i can use for a right side light??

Thanks I am looking at sem?? Interior paint possibly

My original interior cardboard panels were green. The only kit that i have found and purchased is the all black one from Dennis Carpenter (Midwest ford) !!! Has anyone painted this material with any success vs leaving it black????? 1940 pickup

I am avoiding Howell's for sure!!!!! I was hoping that Rustynut may make them ??? Otherwise I will/can make make a rough facsimile :confused:

Rustynut4247 Do you have these parts available???? Thanks Tim

I am referring to the the beginning post that had the images attached

Unfortunately they don't show them on ebay!!! Was hoping for an alternative supplier???

Is there any other source for these parts besides Howell's???? I am needing the same pieces for my 40 truck!!!!! Being in Canada i am very hesitant to order them from Howell's plus having them shipped to our friends in Detroit!!!! Thanks Tim

Great information about the bearings!!! Do you have a video or write up about the polishing process??? If not, what scotchbrite pads used ??? How did you insure that the bearing thickness was even! Thanks Tim
