Now would be a good time to graft in a 77.5-79 f-250 4x4 power steering box.

I would have to agree with Mark on this one also. That's what I did and much better than dealing with the power assist setup. I would also suggest in taking off your Axle U-bolts to see what kind of shape they are in. When I took mine off the front ones were rusting out and becoming thin. Off course you could always do that, but where you are in the process of your build makes everything much easier.

Nice looking frame, BTW.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be taking the U bolts off because I'm going to have the springs re-arched.
