Old articles?

What happened to the old articles like "Whiter Whites, Brighter Lights"(or whatever it was) and the one about the disk brake swap? and was there any about steering column swaps?

I have a new wiring harness that I need to get installed but was thinking about getting a ch&*y column because the current one is fairly worn out and I would like to get tilt column, cruise and etc... and the wiring harness is set up for a GM so it plugs right in..
Anyway... what is the best year of column to put in my 65? I do have a power steering unit that I want to add, not sure if I'll have to get another column when I do that? I wont say "any ideas" cuz I know there are tons.. haha

How about "Your thoughts?"

There is an "Articles/Specs" tab at the very top of the page. I searched for 'whiter' and found the whiter lights article:
Whiter Whites, Brighter Brights .: Articles

I suspect you can do similar searches for the other articles you want
Good luck -

Terry, +1 on carras, I don't know which brake upgrade that you saw, and there have been a couple on here that really have holes in them. The very best way is to buy a 73-76 for FE engine, 73-79 6 cyl with the tranny that you have or want to upgrade to. Moving the complete I-beam set, steering gear, brake booster, everything to your truck. Some 78-79 Lariats had tilt columns, but that is one area that has many options including aftermarket.

I have been a part of upgrading several trucks, I know it works. I used a 76 donor for my truck so anything related under the hood or below the chassis, I can order for a 76 and it fits.

I've got several of these articles on better lights as it is much discussed on Mopar forums. Here is one with actual photos...

I have a zipped copy of it somewhere myself. Steve also did one for adding a air compressor under the hood, out of a York AC compressor.
