Part 2 of the the suspension talk is the steering box.
I am going to keep the Solid front axle but I also want power steering.
We are going to try the kit from classic parts.
Here is the how to install it -
Power Steering installI have a Saginaw Power steering box laying around that we will be using. I like this because we will have more room in the engine bay. I am a little concerned about it being outside of the frame rail and hope that the tire won't interfere.
The old steering box and column is out. I didn't know that they were one piece so the poor steering box has a couple of hammer marks on it. After a little research it is one piece, disassembled the steering wheel column from the cabin and pulled it out from the engine bay.
The article recommends using a steering column from a 70s van... However they are hard to find in the junk yard now. Summit carries one with a side shifter for about $200 that looks like it might work.
