When i changed from a manual to power steering i had to re drill the frame because the manual box i had the pitman arm going to the rear and the power box went out the front, had to move the box back I believe 3 or 4 inches

I HAVE A 1973 F-100 4X4 AND HAVE CHANGED THE FRONT END TO GAIN DISC BRAKES, I ALSO CHANGE THE STEERING GEAR BOX.THE NEW BOX ONLY HAS THREE BOLT HOLES THE FRAME HAD FOUR.
I PROCEEDED ANY WAY ONLY USING THE THREE, SINCE EVERY THING HAS WORKED WELL UNTIL RECENTLY. THE BOX WORKED LOOSE AND WHILE TIGHTENG IT BACK ONE BOLT PULLED RIGHT THROUGH THE FRAME. LOOKING FOR A MORE ADAPTABLE APROACH THAN FABRICATING.

Power Steering Conversion
1973Fordproject,If your truck is a 4x4 I can send you my article on how to add power steering to that truck.I am starting a PS conversion on a 1976 F-100 4x4 next week as I have finally got all the parts together.If you send me your e-mail address I will send you a download of my article.I did this conversion on my 71 F-100 4x4 about three years ago and it is still running strong.Have fun.
