I just got a steering box reinforcement kit and frame brace from OffRoadDesign.com on Thursday, so it's not installed yet. My power steering has the same leak. I hope the bolts work for you.

**scotts62** · 08-24-2008, 09:52 PM

Man thats crazy how they move like that

looks like you have a sheared rivet also. have you watched underneath it?

killthewabbit · 08-24-2008, 11:20 PM

I had a sheared rivet, but replaced it with a grade 8 bolt about two years ago. The bolt is still there and tight. It's just gotten that bad again here lately, so it's time for the steering box reinforcement and the frame brace.

joe231 · 08-24-2008, 11:30 PM

gotcha

joe231 · 08-27-2008, 11:26 AM

got another question for you guys.....
can i bolt in power windows and locks from a newer truck into my manual doors?
is there certain years that will work better than others?
(i realize i would have to use different door panels)
thanks for all the help!!

Edit: I believe if I am reading correctly, I found a thread stating that the '77-up power window and lock stuff will bolt in my '80...is this correct?

joe231 · 08-27-2008, 11:36 AM

check out the rake

joe231 · 11-09-2008, 11:53 PM

I still wish I could find one that clean. I could build something presentable with that much good metal!

The drop looks good man, well worth the effort.
