Steering Gear Box to Rack conversion

Seems like more trouble than its worth. Why is your steering box loose?...you can tighten up the slop fairly easy. A few threads have popped up in the last few days...

I haven't heard of any factory R&P setups for these trucks, so you will probably have to custom build mounts & buy expensive links and extensions.
Is this a daily driver? Show cruiser? Prerunner? For light duty, go with something like this... Home Page For heavy duty, you should look into desert racing parts.

No suggestions on the rack and pinion conversion, but I may have another solution - steering box off a '98-'02 police interceptor Crown Victoria - they are much tighter and with less steering assist than your regular pickup truck or fullsize passenger car steering box.
Needless to say, this is loads of fun with your friends but definitely not recommended for daily driving.
Again - a gearbox from a Crown Vic DOES NOT WORK
