pull up next to a 73-79 and start swappin. might as well get the brakes too huh?
Mine was a bear to change directions too, it helped to go back to stock size tires and wheels.
I believe you will have to get the steering box rebuilt and changed for your aplication - or it steers backwards

socalf1004x4,go to the Tech Articles on right hand tool bar then click on steering and suspension then scroll down to the article on how to power steer a 67-72 F-100 4x4.There are many disc brake conversions available for our trucks,try Jeffs Bronco Graveyard or some of the other site sponsors.
