I don't see why it wouldn't work on a 68.

80 thru 84 and some 85 thru 87 Toyota 4X4 pickups

Hi Joe, That's correct, lets call it a spacer at the top of the pitman arm keeps it away from the frame so no grinding off the bolt heads.

Yes, the length of the pitman arm is critical to the orverall turning radius. A new pitman arm has to be exactly the same length as the original one. I inspected the toyota box before I started the installation and noticed the number of turns in the box is slightly less. I can't say for sure how muc...

The drag link is the original piece. The toyota sector shaft that goes through the frame is in the same place as the original box

Here's another picture of the box mounted to the frame. You can see the bracket between the gear and the frame. Man I must be more tired than I thought. It's 10:11 PM here. I was reading through my posts and saw all the misspelled words, sorry about that. I hope this helps someone. It's not as bad a...

Next I took the column shaft out of the tube. May sure you take pictures of your individual shaft and the pieces and the order that they go back in. On this 64 there is an inside snap ring then a spring, then a centering collar that goes up against the column bearing, then a washer and then an outsi...

Once the gear was in and I had the hoses attached (the kit had everything I needed to attach the hoses), I trial fitted the steering column several times. I used the top of the original rag joint that was sticking out of the bottom of the column to center the column on the toyota power steering gear...

I bolted the bracket to the toyota gear box and set it in the frame. I had to open the hole up a little for the sector shaft to fit through properly. This took several trial fittings because the bracket did not want to sit flat against the frame with the toyota box straight aiming at the firewall ho...

Next I removed the old Dodge pitman arm and the manual gear. I took the new toyota & the old Dodge pitman arms to a machine shop. The new toyota pitman arm in the kit is good flat steele and it is easy to weld on an additional piece. The machine shop cut off the ball used with the fords and welded o...

The 64 already had a multi groove crank pully. The pump and bracket from the 87 Dodge /6 mounted up perfectly to the 64 Dodge /6. The belt was purchased from Advanced Auto.
The hose kit I got from Mid 50 had the correct adapter for the pressure line to attach to the pump.

Howdy Steve Cass (chgr1) here from Cedar Creek Texas. I just finished the installation of power steering in a 64 D100 225 /6 with a manual column shift using the toyota power steering gear. All parts were ordered from Mid 50 http://www.midfifty.com Part Number 94620 - Conversion Kit - contains mount...

Didn't work. It was still leaking exhaust between the two pieces. I suspect that the metal seal between the two pieces had been blown for a long time. The engine had been run so long with the seal blown, that one of the two had warped, cracked or whatever.. Having the surfaces milled between the two...

I had the surfaces milled then bolted the two pieces together then had the head mounting surface of the intake and exhaust milled. The manual says bolt the two pieces together, install the assembly to the head and install all washers and nuts snug. Torque the three bolts to 240 inch pounds, then tor...

I had the two halfs milled straight, but I need to get the head surfaces milled while the two halfs are bolted together, as you suggested.

Steve

You an buy the solenoid at advanced auto for $20. Part number 3055515. It is a BWD part made in the US part number S99. It is very easy to change. You'll have to use the old push piston from the old solenoid. Put the starter in a vise to hold it and to keep the left end plate from coming off.. Remov...

Sorry for asking for help on a topic that has probably been bet to death. I am having a real hard time sealing the intake to the exhaust manifold just below the carb on a /6. I've had the surfaces milled and tried lots of things to get these sealed, but noluck so far. I am thinking of getting a new ...

Thanks, It's been a great project and I'm almost there. One other thing I found out that may help someone, the door arm rests on the 70 D100 are very similar to the arm rest on 70 series Darts. The have the same mounting bolt spacing and mounting angle. All you have to do is move the bolt clips on t...

No problem with meeting up. I live right off 71 about 7 miles from Bastrop. Maybe you can time it when the Mopars from Austin and Houston meet in Bastrop.

Yup, Every Saturday night at the first national bank on Hwy 71 from 7 - 9 summer and 6 - 8 winter.
