66 F 100 PS PBCONVERSION
HELP. I RECENTLY UP GRADED MY 66 TO POWER BREAKS AND STEERING. MY DELIMA IS I USED A 79 SPINDLES AND STEERING BOX, AND USED THE THE 66 CENTER LINK AND TIE RODS AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THEY WON'T LET THE TRUCK TURN TO THE STOPS ON THE LEFT SIDE. I TRIED TO USE THE 79 RODS BUT THEY HIT THE RADIUS RODS. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG. ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL HELP.

Re: 66 F 100 PS PBCONVERSION
are you using the 66 radius arms or the 79 radius arm?

Re: 66 F 100 PS PBCONVERSION
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, AND YES I USED THE 79 SPINDLES. I THINK I HAVE SOILVED THE PROBLEM, AFTER READING THE OLD SERVICE BULLITIN WHERE FORD CHANGED THE GEOMETERY OF THE CENTER LINK AND TIE ROD TO ACCOMADATE THE SAGANAW GEAR BOX I FOUND THAT THE 66 RODS WOULD NOT LET THE TRUCK STEER ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT. I REPLACED THE RODS AND ALL SEEMS WELL NOW. THE ORIGINAL 79 RODS THAT I WAS USING WERE BENT, IE. THE DOANER TRUK WAS WRECKED. SO ANY ONE ELSE DOING THIS SWAP YOU MUST USE ALL OF THE PARTS FRO YOUR DOANER TRUCK. UNLESS YOU ARE USING ON FROM EARLY 71 BACK. HOPE THIS WILL HELP ANY ONE ELASE DOJ\ING THIS SWAP. THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY TO DO A POWER DISK BREAK CONVERSION.
