Craigwell:

Thanks for the info. Looking at these pics it looks different that what i have. The valve ports are on the top of my valve, not the side. If the hoses still hook up the same, i have them all backwards. Maybe I'll try them in these positions and see what happens.

Thanks

 

 

Bingo, that's what I have. Looks like they are all correct. Now I'm really stumped. Why does in only power steer left? When I turn right it actually feels like I'm fighting against power assist, more than just not having power assist, there seems to be pressure pushing against my right turn. the only thing I can think is the Cylinder is bad. It's new but maybe it's bad. I'm at my wits end!!

 

refer to my post about shimming, and look at the exploded diagram. You need to get inside your CV and adjust the spool.

 

i bought a donor truck today 78 250 has power sterring box i need front spring hangers so i wont have to cut military wrap off the sd springs rear spring hangers for sd springs two transfer cases one has new bearings in it a 4 speed tranny 351 w was hoping the bed would be usable but has been sitting two long i will cut patches out for mine though. it has a 44 in the front and rear i will be trying to sell those though also has another front 44 with got it all for 300.00 delivered to my house

 

i just picked up a 77 higboy and my power assisted steering isnt working its not leakin but just no help goin in a turn i dont no much about these and was wonder the easy way to convert or just fix wat i got cheap....so far im liking the 78/79 gear box the best any suggestion?

 

77 rowe this truck thats what i'm going with since i'm not going to do much off road driving with this truck. if i was i would take 75350s conversion with the cross over or inverted t there are so many threads on this subject you can find out everything you want to know.

 

how much should i ask for my spare 44 fronts one is complete and one is minus knuckles
and axles . and also spare 60 rear , 4 speed and two transfer cases i have no idea how much to ask for this stuff

 

You might get $250 for a D44 front, maybe $500 if it's complete D44HD with the large external hubs intact. Depends on your area though, and how many are around. Most people are chasing D60 fronts, and those are the bigger ticket items to sell.

 

ok well wats the dif between using a 78 gear box or the 77 lowboy gear box? are they not the same

 

bucks77ford....i like your conversion other than the fab work to the cross member and mounting the gear box was there any other fabing to do and do the steering linkages from a 78 fit with nothin done to them? thanks need all the help i can get

im going to the conversion to the 78 steering box conversion this weekend im going to try to get sd springs on the front and rear also .


i went to harbor frieght yesterday and bought a stud welder works really well pulled two dents today

 

Other than the crossmember fab work, the drag link bolted right up with no modification. The factory steering shaft should also work, but I didn't have one so I just went with a new Borgeson steering shaft. Works great and it's a slip shaft so it's easy to remove if need to. I do think someday I'd like to convert to the inverted T style steering though.

 

Does anyone have pics of 78 front spring hanger conversions onto a 77
