Power steering box trouble

[PrinsGMC]

Well i was leaving from school today and i heard a clunk and my steering got real sloppy on my 76 k10 so when I got home i popped the hood and noticed the whole power steering box was twisted and the two bolts on the front were missing. I found them both laying in spots on the frame. I also noticed that my frame was cracked and welded and then cracked again. any suggestions, has this happened to anyone else? Thanx in advance.

HAd the same thing happen on my 80 C-10 years ago.

i cut a 1/2 in plate to fit the back side of the frame, drilled holes to match the PS box and welded the plate in never had any problems.

good luck

I had the same problem. J.C. Whitney has a kit that you weld on. I got it and it worked perfect. Has front and back plate that you weld on. Already has holes drilled in it. Here is the link. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/S...me+support+kit
All you have to do is pull off steering box weld these plates on put the box back on and your good.
