RE-introducing myself...
Time to come back, take the flak I deserve, and see (well, talk to) everyone again.
I owe some folks money for those controllers I never shipped, and I know some folks paid other folks back on my behalf (like Rev for instance). Thanks for that.
I shall stand for any flaming anyone feels like and I encourage the moderators not to filter it anymore than necessary as some folks will need to vent and I deserve it anyway.
On my Cardomain site page 25 has my SAS information, and I'll post some here as well.
Nice to be here, and Merry Christmas everyone!

Welcome back. BTW since you have done a SAS now you need to check out my thread and the steering shaft. Not a good idea to run the stocker.

Okay, Zach, I'll look that up. I didn't use but a piece of the stocker. I used the 3/4" DD end that goes to the steering wheel shaft, press fit it in the u-joint from a Chevy AstroVan and then welded it, welded that ujoint to a 3/4" solid rod, which was welded to a u-joint with a 3/4"-36 spline end to go to the 1979 F-150 steering box. I call it an example of "hillbilly engineering" but it seems pretty strong (so far...)

DD? I have read this else where but I am not sure what it means.
I thought mine was fine too, then it broke. lol

Well, I will definitely be thinking about that. My intent is to still use some Borgeson or Flaming River parts to make a "real" shaft -- but money was very tight so I improvised.

John --
Welcome back! I didn't know you when you were last here (I didn't own a Ranger, then!), but I've read plenty enough here and elsewhere about you, your truck, and the long list of modifications you helped create/inspire. Glad to have you "back" on the forum.
...and, it's nice not being the only one around here that can solder worth a darn!
73 de AI4AI,
