A front end swap is probably a lot more than you were looking to do, but when I figured out how I think this goes together, modern COE steering (/ suspension and brakes) is where my thoughts went... I got it loosely mocked up and took some pics. The steering box is just one I had laying around and is not the '85 chevy van 30 box. I tacked it there with a bolt (all holes line up, just a different shaft on this box so the pitman arm won't bolt on) the frame sections are also just tacked back in with a couple bolts and I put the idler arm back on for the pics. Slightly off topic (as is my reply) but thought I'd add brakes are hydroboost setup...
