Hmm, barry is online, and I think that he will chime in soon. I am pretty sure that the 4x4s had different boxes, has a tutorial on installing PS on a 2x4, I will check if he mentions the 4x4s.

I suppose you could make anything "work" with enough ingenuity and tenacity buy for a bolt on swap you will need the 76-79 F-150 4x4 steering box. It may not have came out until 77 but I thought it was on the first F-150 which was 76.

Here's a tech article on a swap for a F250 to give you an idea:

I thought it was '77 1/2 when the integral ps box for the 4x4 came out but could be wrong. You could check with the guys on the '73 - '79 forum.

Wait a minute! Didn't we go through this here a month or so ago? I remember summitting a tech article on the 4x4 ps conversion but it hasn't made it to the board yet. Someone here must have it.
Help me out guys, I losing it!

Nod, My rig is an f250 4x4. I don't know what the differences are between the f100 and f250 but I'd sure like to see that article. Would you mind emailing it to me?
