Hey thanks 3b. So technically I could use my stock gearbox / a lower portion of the steering shaft (just a nub out of the box to attach a ujoint) by cutting the mast jacket off at the top of the box? Do you know of sources for other boxes (e.g. vehicles they would come from) that would work? Im not trying to beat up my truck as far as use is concerned, but would still like to be able to still use it as originally intended.
Thanks
