73-79 power steering conversion questions
I have been looking at the article 1967 - 1972with 1973 - 1976 Supplement) 4 X 4 F100 POWER STEERING conversion here on the forum for my 74 f100 4x4. I noticed he said he made a plate for mounting from a 1" steel plate. Is this a bit overkill considering the thickness of the frame?? I am assuming that went on the side of the frame to mount the box??I have to also get rid of my old draglink because it has the power assist valve on it. My other question is when I mount the steering box does it need to be in a location so that the draglink mounts to the pitmanarm going straight up OR can the draglink be at an angle going forward OR backwards And how much of an angle?? One last question is my truck has been lifted I'm not sure how much it's about the hight of a highboy, do I need to use a dropped pitman arm?? Thanx
