Power Steering Conversion
I have a 73 F250 4x4 that has manual steering. The guy I bought it from included a steering box and pump.
How difficult is the conversion?
Parts list would include pump braket new hoses?
This steering box has four holes to mount through so I would have to locate it and drill holes?
Any input would be great!
Thanks

Some folks notch the front crossmember, cause it's tight, I didn't have too.

thanks, here's the rest. My only suggestion is to weld in spacers for the bolts, especially if your going with big tires

It's not super pretty but it works well. Only thing I would advice is to move the steering box back a little farther than I did with mine. Having mine where it is, I need to either A) cut/sleeve the drag link or B) figure out the best option to make it adjustable.
