You have no proof about pink, since there is nothing on the Internet about it!

I can't. I have an affinity for zinc plating like jeepey weepey guys have an addiction to exposed bolt heads on their fender flares.
Is that zinc plating? I thought that the yellow color meant it was cadmium plating.
I have many things to learn.

I guess it could be either one. That titanium nitride finish is very similar. Yeller is what we'll call it.

God damnit.
The hydroboost bracket I bought from wfo is just random. It doesn't match the studs. I knew I should have just made it my own self. I hate this mystery meat shit. Surprise here's some shit you don't have that you need or you can't progress.
I was thinking to just knock the studs out and drill new holes. Apparently the column holder needs those studs. This is really upsetting.

No paint near or on electrical stuff for me lol!
What bracket are you talking about? I'm confused.

I had a similar problem with mine from Vanco, I had to make one to keep it "right "....

This was literally the only one I could find. Is there another one? I can't stand this shit where it's like sure I'll sell you the unit but you're screwed if you're trying to mount it!
I don't know any specific info on these. I have a complete unit from a '79 at work, but you can probably build one before I could even get measurements.

That looks like a terrible fit.
Yup. I thought it was maybe tailored towards this but it appears to be random.
I'm not sure what to do. I guess I have other stuff to work on until then.

Well now the steering pump is a pia.
I'm supposed to take out one of the studs behind the pump and it doesn't want to come out. This is for the mount kit.
Naturally the stud base stripped out instantly. Tried the double nut trick and nothing. Seems like it wants to pull the threads off if anything. I'm completely over building this truck.

Overbuilt is good I like that.

Yeah! Once this shit is done then I won't have anything to worry about but I just hate when everything falls apart in my hands.
Now I'm gonna get out the mig welder and try to weld a nut onto the stud. They must've zipped it in with an impact. If it doesn't work then I'm screwed.
