Shop Suggestions for Steering Linkage
I'm looking for suggestions on a local shop (Denver metro area) to rebuild my steering linkage and possibly install a hydro-assist. Can anyone recommend a shop that is familiar with EB's and they've had good luck with? Thanks

Re: Shop Suggestions for Steering Linkage
Any number of guys in this club are able to help you with that. What are you looking to do for linkage? Porting a steering box isn't that hard either.

Re: Shop Suggestions for Steering Linkage
I recently bent the stock setup and I just want to replace it with steel tubing. The 35's are very difficult to turn when wheeling so a hydro assist would be very helpful as well. Any suggestions on a shop or club member to make this happen is appreciated! Thank you

Re: Shop Suggestions for Steering Linkage
I think I have spare DOM for that. Are you doing hems or tie rod ends?

Re: Shop Suggestions for Steering Linkage
There's a guy in our club who loves to fabricate and weld stuff up. Lives over in Lakewood. Problem is he only works for trades on things like 37" tires.

Re: Shop Suggestions for Steering Linkage
What a coincidence, I know someone who has a set of 37"s he's trying to get rid of:) Would you be interested in meeting up and talking shop? PM me if so. Thanks!

Re: Shop Suggestions for Steering Linkage
I need to do this as well, my 73 has a very bent stock (I believe) tie rod.
