But from what I can gather from researching on the net and test fitting the kit and information including pictures from Achipmunk. The steering box mounts on the outside of the frame nearer to the front then the original steering box. So you have to cut a notch out of the inner fender and use a knuckle joint to get the steering shaft inline. And they say these kits are bolt on, and they are as far as the gear box and pump go. But you still have to do some welding. You have to weld a piece of steel where the 2 top steering box bolts go that comes with the kit and is pre drilled to the top of the frame. Then put the other 2 steering box bolts on. So some of the ads for these kits are a little misleading when they say "bolt on" power steering kit. There is not much welding to install the kit. But the welding that there is to do is on a important part. It wouldn't be to good taking a turn a little fast and the 2 steering box bolts breaking loose with the piece of steel at the top of the frame. But I can weld and have a buddy who still welds for a living so that won't be a problem. | | |
