Cut and adapt the steering shaft to the new box.

If you have a six you'll need to get your pump brackets elsewhere they only them for eights. They are also running a 10% sale this weekend code = lab2012 My Fleet: 1941 1953 1959 1965 1966 1953 Willy's Pickup John Vegetarian- old Indian word for bad hunter
