New guy

[hide-pounder]

Hello all, as the title suggests, I’m new here. I have a 1967 D-100 in my driveway I’m trying to get back on the road. 318 is freshly rebuilt with 340 heads and a Howard’s rattler cam. 727 is on the ground waiting for me to tear into it. I’m running into trouble finding steering parts, namely the drag link and manual steering box. I knew taking on a non-Chevy this old I was going to hit bumps eventually. I just didn’t think it would be wearable items such as steering components.

Anyway, glad to be here and I welcome any and all questions, critiques, cheers, words of advice or whatever.

Thank you, fellas.

Welcome: I like these trucks. Be happy it doesn't have the factory power assist steering, that is a real bear to find parts for and not that great of a system in the end. Trucks were just a tool back then too and run into the ground so finding good used isn't easy either.

Welcome to FBBO from NorCal Sierras
65-71 D-100 or W-100

plenty of non-Chevy parts out there, even for older trucks
just not on every street corner,
or the 1st pages of mail order catalogs or www big box stores
like Chevy/GM, yep a lot easier

maybe try another sister site to here, it's not as busy/active as here,
but still a good resource

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario. Nice truck with extra chrome package. Up here in rust-belt Ontario, these trucks were notorious rusters. I once had a 1966 lwb stepside as a drive-to-work and errand vehicle. The sound of the cab rusting away would keep me awake at night! LOL.
