Steering box conversion.

Yeah I did some closer looking. The 250 bolts to the inside of the rails. I guess I gotta tear into my box and rebuild it haha

where is it leaking? if it's leaking out the bottom by the pitman arm, loosen the pitman arm and take out the snapring , put the pitman arm back on , put a bucket under the steering box, start truck and turn hard all the way one way then the other, this will usualy blow the seal out. It's the easiest way I've found to get them out.
