[Oletrucks] 1954 steering

[Gale Gorman]

I just ordered a manual on CD-ROM from grumpytruckparts.com.

Searched Barnes and Noble, Chilton, and Haynes but didn't find anything.

NAPA sells a rebuild kit for the old ball and socket joints but my parts all look good. They don't have an exploded view of the order for the parts.

Took a while and a half to clean 56 years of crud off but they look good now. My tie rod had at least a 4 inch sag and I straightened it so it looks like new again. Took the tie rod and drag link down to bare metal and painted them a satin black.

Would like to have a manual myself.  What is the source for the manual or maybe it could be copied and I'll pay you for it.

Do you know where I can buy a manual? Is yours from Chevrolet or after-market?

I've got a shop manual for the 54 3100 at home.  I'll look in a couple of hours, unless someone posts a diagram before I can get home.

Does anyone know of a parts book or manual that shows an exploded view of the drag link and tie rod?

I think I've figured out which order the pieces go in the ball sockets but it would be nice to verify.
