thanks Ron!!
i appreciate your help...
i had looked into their stuff earlier but their unit mounts "ahead" of the axle... i want to mount in the "stock" location and utilize my draglink set-up for a stock appearance... there are some folks using 79-85 Toyota pickup steering boxes on the mid 50's F-word truck but ihaven't bee able to find out for sure if the pitman moves in the right direction for me when the steering wheel is turned... i also read some stuff about 1978 Dodge pickups and that some of them used a "revere-rotation" box... i've been hunting around on that lead too...
thanks again... ya'll take it easy... bill w.
