I couldn't believe it when they came in, and were perfect.
They were an open box item, so I bet the original buyer had trouble and returned them. They are a real SOB to stretch over the frame.
First time I can see through the front windows in years.
I cut a few good size sections of fabric, and the old windows for patch material. They may come in handy in a pinch!
I tried with the good nexus polish, and they were just toast! To many trips to Gulches with a mud bath.
What's the difference in height?

They are stiffer, so i think they wont sag as much from the hardtop and junk in the trunk. And also should make for a better experience pulling the camper. The Rancho coils I have now are the Light Duty coils and will bottom out if you breath on them wrong.
After fixing 3 out of 4 of the dash gauges (that sucked), new speedometer cable, shift kit, tearing apart the entire interior, rebuilding the hub and spindle, replacing the seat belts, and re-working the vacuum lines, I've had enough. Took the 109 to a repair shop to get the front main seal replaced (REALLY didn't want to do that), adjust the valves (always fail at that), and the fuel sending unit (really didn't want to do that). Works well as I've been gone a lot for work so its worth it just to keep things moving even when I'm gone. When I get it back next week, I just need to check the fluids and pack.
Overall right now, I'm just spending a bunch of time on the details. Its annoying but fixing all of the little nagging things that piss me off is pretty huge. Hopefully it'll be ready for a road trip to the beach next weekend and then Uwharrie at the beginning of April.

What pump and box does it use?
Electric assist motor on the column or electric pump that still uses hydraulic fluid?
Sbc pump and a steering box off of a 84-91 chevy g20 van

When I was doing the m38a1, I was looking at doing a Honda electric power steering column

Started working on the power steering conversion, inner fender pulls out very easy
surprising the pitman arm pulled off quite nicely
the steering shaft is part of the steering box, little sawsall action will take care of that
test fit the new mount
