I agree with both of you, it looks to be shakey at best. I was just curious if it had been done "successfully" on a 1-ton AD. I have been looking at possibly putting a V8 in my truck and was looking at the different options for steering. Im not totally sold on the adding the newer gearbox to the outside of the frame and replacing the steering column just yet and dont want the old column to be sitting off center either. I want to make it as safe and durable as possible.
