That's the Toyota conversion Morris, It's a very easy mod. look's like it belongs. I bought the box off the buy & sell in BC. I paid $100.00 for the box and $22.00 to ship it from Vancouver Island. I bought the mount and pitman arm from Mid-Fifty for under $150.00

It was hard to find one here when I was looking at the time. Any one parting out trucks on kijiji didn't want the box removed till they were done and they wanted the same $$$$.

I think that it`s only certain years of Toyota 4X4`s that work, from 81-84?
