Ben Jammin's 1955 Chevy/GMC Project

If the black and white photo is from the install manual, it looks like if the steering box was in that location the tire would miss it. that is where I mounted mine based on measurements taken from the donor truck. It kept the steering shaft angle low enough that I only needed two joints. The only interference I have is like yours but with the pitman arm which reduces full lock by 1/2 a steering wheel turn. I would rethink the location since you have not welded the flange on the frame yet. The BW picture looks correct in referece to the radiator bracket. Here are thotos of mine. Granted the axle and tires are 4" farther away from the frame than stock 2wd but same principle as what you are doing,
