61 4x4 steering box bracket
here is a pic of a stock stock steering frame bracket. it moves the box away from the frame. the frame is not straight from the cab forward, kinda curves. want to put power steering on the truck. I have part #'s to build a new adj. drag link. 4wd box and it's pitman arm, or sense the truck sits so high stock, a after-market say 4" lift. will have to mod the stock frame bracket (bracket is beefy) or build a new one. i would put this in the 4x4 section, but not much info on these old trucks. first thing they say is to throw the axles away-----capt you have any ideas on mounting?

you can change the steering arm to take the later d/link end if you are going to keep the orig frt axle. the newer style frt axles are pretty a bolt in if you are going to upgrade to disc brakes By rondavid at 2011-01-26 ron |

Re: 61 4x4 steering box bracket
It's been a long time since I have seen one of those steering box brackets. Those must be a '60-'61 only sort of thing.
You should be able to use one of my steering box adapter plates. I have sold several to guys that used them on 4x4's.

Re: 61 4x4 steering box bracket
from your pic it looks like the hole is not tapered? ball stud would be straight with a nut? what year steering arm are you saying to change to? also my steering shaft is 3-1/2" out from the frame. (center of column shaft by rag joint.) capt with your bracket and box would it be the same? I guess what i am asking is it the same as a 2wd.
