Shop Suggestions for Steering Linkage

Postby Kermit484 » Sun Aug 23, 2015 9:18 am

I'm looking for suggestions on a local shop (Denver metro area) to rebuild my steering linkage and possibly install a hydro-assist. Can anyone recommend a shop that is familiar with EB's and they've had good luck with?
Thanks

Any number of guys in this club are able to help you with that. What are you looking to do for linkage? Porting a steering box isn't that hard either.

I recently bent the stock setup and I just want to replace it with steel tubing. The 35's are very difficult to turn when wheeling so a hydro assist would be very helpful as well. Any suggestions on a shop or club member to make this happen is appreciated!
Thank you

I think I have spare DOM for that. Are you doing hems or tie rod ends?

There's a guy in our club who loves to fabricate and weld stuff up. Lives over in Lakewood.

Problem is he only works for trades on things like 37" tires.

What a coincidence, I know someone who has a set of 37"s he's trying to get rid of:)
Would you be interested in meeting up and talking shop?
PM me if so. Thanks!

I need to do this as well, my 73 has a very bent stock (I believe) tie rod.
