Here's the pics of the box mounted. The original manual box was mounted farther forward, with the pitman arm pointing backward. This box the pitman arm points forward.Anthony wrote:Is the steering box power and have you got a pic of the steering box and the mounting location of it?
It's perfect for running the crossover steering, which keeps the steering away from rocks etc.
It's hard to tell from the pics, but we notched and boxed the lower part of the frame to clear the pitman arm.
Ford was smart enough to box the frame on the 4x4's from the factory, so there's plenty of strenght for the box. Since the box was from a Scout, we added the RPT Reinforcement plate from IH Only North.
I used a power steering pump and brackets from a 71 F250 2wd found at the auto wrecker. Was only going to use it for temporary, but the pump works great. I got lucky there.
Truck tracks straight on the freeway, no death wobble etc.
Hmm,
wonder about using that same box on a 2WD straight axle truck with the pitman rotated 90 degrees?

This slick thing is very catchy. My old man had a 64 F100 while I was growing up that I leaned to drive in. He also had a 64 tow truck at one time. So when the time came I decided I need a truck for around the house, I bought my first slick. A 1966 F100....
I love it. It's mostly all stock, runs great, and does everything I ask of it.
Then I came across this little gem I couldn't pass up for 4 wheeling....
This picture is when I drove it home.
Since then it's been updated with a leaf spring from from a 76 F250 tallboy, a Dana 60 highpinion with disc brakes up front, a 14 bolt in the rear (sorry GM haters), a Ford power steering box from an International Scout. and 37" Humvee tires.
Here's how she sits now...
Soon to be locked front and rear, and a new process 205 T-case to replace the dana that came in it stock.
I keep seeing good deals here in Nor Cal, if I had the room I'd have more, even if it isn't practical.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
Those are some nice looking rides man...
