anybody got a couple good pics of the whole setup,i don't have any holes or dimples for my reservoir and I could use some reference pics!!! id really appreciate it.

 

Go look at my thread about it they sent a few pics and said you need to mount the reservoir on the fender somehow

 

already did,was lookin to find the correct spot but havent seen a first gen pic of the actual origional setup.might have to put a build thread together when i do mine.

 

Well from what I hear trucks like mine and yours that didn't have power steering didn't have a spot for it but when I do mine I'm gonna do a good write up and a lot if pics to help others out because I really can't find nothin on this site for all that much help. I'm waiting on my stuff to get in the mail so we can try to help each other out. I have my service manual and it helps a lot but the pics arnt that great

 

got my pump today,woohoo,too bad im working O/T.

 

Yeah me to bud

 

yep .. 79-83 resivoir mounts on the inner drivers fender well , vertical wall , right beside/below the ignitor . rear tab is just below the ignitor , and then 2 front mounts will line right up to pre exsisting holes just in front of the rad overflow/windshield tank assembly


.

 

we should ALL get together and open a shop!!!!!!hehe
thanx slacker!

 

Well,I was going to do this like a build-up, but it really is easy and pretty much a no-brainer...except..my pitman arm is kicking my butt. wrecked the rented tool from Oreileys , so I have to take it back and get another one. everything is in except the steering box which is loosened,but the pitman is holding me up...and I have to go to work today.blah

 

Do you need the pitman arm for the other box? I got my old one out and new one in with the pitman still on.

 

yes,PO cut off the pitman arm off when he removed power steering box,so I have to use mine off my Armstrong steering box....its not coming off. just spent another 45 minutes with another tool that is also about to break. not happy.l

 

well,got off work and bent up another pitman arm tool and about the last of my patience.

 

Hey did you take pics of where the cooler and all the other lines go

 

I didnt have time,3 more hours and i finally got the arm off.everything is in.so heres some pics.

also,when I got the arm off,i used the puller with a pipe wrench over the top so it wouldn't separate when I was torqueing on it.

Jeez sorry that pitman arm was such a pain in the ass, I tried to remove it before I shipped it to you, but I broke that same exact puller you had in the last picture trying to get it off. (What I get buying harbor freight tools)

Good idea using a pipe wrench to hold it together, mine exploded when I put the 6 foot pipe on it for leverage.
