I don't know the answer to your problem.i have all of that apart on my truck ,but don't remember how it all bolted on.will the steering box rotate where it is bolted to the frame? Like I said I just can't remember how it all works. Your truck looks good and is a little farther along that mine. I added a IFS to mine with a power rack,so I won't be using the stock steering column.I see you are in ohio also , I am in the south east to the ohio river.
