Power Steering Help
Okay so I have been doing some research here and there for installing power steering on my truck. It is a 1969 F-250 4x4 with a 4 inch lift. Here are my questions...
1) What would be best? Installing the power steering gear inside or outside of the frame rails.
2) I would like to do a cross over steering conversion when i find a dana 60, so I would like to leave a set up as and just switch from the push-pull to the crossover when the time comes... or if you can do a cross over on a closed knuckle HD dana 44 that would be nice.
3) What box would be best for this application. I have looked for the 78-79 4x4 F-250 and havent found any in this whole time.
4) And the last question. What is the final parts list for this whole set up?
I think a complete parts list would do a lot of good for anybody else trying to do this.
Sorry for the long post,
Michael

That was good info. I'm more of a junkyard runner. I'm a college student and really don't have the funds to blow that kind of money. I know how to weld and can do what is most likely needed to do for this. I'm just wondering off of what truck or trucks should I grab parts from to do this and what parts should be used.

I really don't know much if anything at all about the 4x4's but my old '83 was 4x4 with solid front axle (like the D60 you want to do) and had PS. Maybe take what you need off an early 80's F250/350. If you are willing to fab things up I think that would be what I would look at first.
Good luck
