Yip,nothing beats experience...in any area..... Paul

Your best bet for power steering would be to find a Brigadier/Chevy Bruin in a wrecking yard with power steering and get all the parts. Power windows might require a bit of fabbing up, I don't think those trucks ever came with power windows. Maybe you could use an aftermarket power window kit from a '67-'72 Chevy pickup (commonly availabe). The doors on those pickups are similar to the Brigadier but not exactly the same, you might be able to get the window regulators to work with some modification..

I sure will cruiseliner and thank you.

Hello everyone, I have a single axle brig and I would like to put a power steering kit on it and some power windows if applicable. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of a retrofit kit to the windows or for the power steering components? thanks

My transmission is a TR130.

Excellent good for you. I didn’t get so lucky. With only one daughter picked the biggest loser in the United States

8" would shut Atlanta completely down for days. Back in Buffalo, we'd call it a "dusting" and go on about our lives.

There’s a lot said to experience as well that in which this site provides! Books are a good base line but experiences are true value!

I completely disagree! Two thirds of my kids are married, the last one is a conformed lifelong bachelor. With the two that are married, I took no part whatsoever in the process and ended up with two great daughters-in-law. My parents didn't pick my wife. In fact, they told me we were too young (19 and 18) and that it would never last. We're 66 and 65 now, still together.

I second that Joey...and I'll ask on BMT too!!!.Nobody knows it all and the books are there to teach and remind us sometimes.No shame in that.... Paul

As far as Power steering, it depends, on what gear you have. Sheppard takes 10-40 motor oil as per Sheppard. 15w-40 has been the oil of choice until recent engines. Trans depends on what transmission. Look to the manuals, for the last word.

Ok, found the water diagram. Geoff you are right, I had it backwards. Picked up my injectors. They slip right into the sleeves so no other work needs done there. I dug out my fresh jug of Tin Man in a can 😆. As soon as I get those two last copper gasket out I can continue with install. I also looked through my pictures from getting engine home and realize those two big fittings aren't used. I think maybe at one time it was set up for water cooled intercooler. The pictures show those were capped off when I brought the engine home. The upper water pump and the other large one in the oil cooler. The elbow: So, no worries there. Just need to make caps for them. I also see the heater core had been bypassed in the pictures when it was in the truck but I know where they go. All is well.

I will open a book in a second.. No pride lost.. Even on the engines and such that I built a bunch of, if I have a brain fart, or just pause and question myself, out comes the book..

How about series three 15-40 I run it in my old Mack the 31 and 32 fords and both tractors more useable in cooler temps. Back in 1973 I was in Caterpillar engine school, and we had a course on oils I asked about multigrade oils and the teacher had a little fit over me asking back then 30 w. in the summer and 10w. in the winter times have changed and 50w. in the trans anymore I think it was in the late sixty's dodge changed to autotrans fluid in their standard three speed trans I know for certain.

Before I start up my truck,I want to change all the oils.It has a Cummins DT335 engine I’m thinking 30 weight.Power steering get power steering fluid,transmission 30 weight,rears all get 90weight.Whats everyone throughts.
