Just bought a pristine '65 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4. Owner said a '72 front axle (with the matching gears)and power steering were swapped in.
There is a 3/4" shim on the back side of the steering box (end closest to the firewall).
I don't see a clearance issue if it's removed. Ummmmmm the shim is a 1"x4" piece of pine. If it's needed, I'll get a proper shim and tac weld in place. And YES, it will be thick wall tubing (steel).
ALSO if we decide to get a lift kit, what year do I get????
