steering for unibody
Just joined the ford nation. Bought a 1961 unibody shortbed and was wondering what a guy can do for steering? It has the manual currently. Just put a 4" drop axle under it. Any ideas suggestions tips tricks are much appreciated for this new guy.
Thanks.

Welcome from Louisiana and welcome to a fellow Uni owner. Since you've already invested in a dropped straight axle, you might want to check out No Limit Engineering's "bolt on" Rack and Pinion power steering unit. Runs about $700 and bolts onto your straight axle.
You will have to cut your steering column and use a connecting rod with "D" links to hook the steering shaft to the R&P. Some folks have used a Toyota steering box with good results but I don't have the info on that.
