No matter which way I position the mount the box doesn't line up and pass through the frame. Are large truck steering box mounts different from 1/2t - 3/4t mounts? Thanks!

From what I've seen the 48-53 boxes look like they will bolt in from the big and small trucks just the same.... but then im not sure what you're calling a mount either. •1951 GMC 250 in the Project Journals •1948 Chevrolet 6400 - Detroit Diesel 4-53T - Roadranger 10 speed overdrive - 4 wheel disc brakes •1952 Chevrolet 3800 pickup ---All pictures--- "First, get a clear notion of what you desire to accomplish, and then in all probability you will succeed in doing it..." -Henry Maudslay-

The years in question had a separate mount that could clamp onto the steering box housing. 1946 1/2 ton truck http://lh4.ggpht.com/_pwQXlvgxOj8/S4K004GeBCI/AAAAAAAAAks/eraDtC1BMGA/s912/IMG_2284.JPG
