So the brake swap WILL work up to 79, it is the power steering option that you are speaking of...right? Not everybody has room for a parts truck or a wife that's patient enough for that. In a perfect world, that would be the answer; for me its not.

This is for all upgrades, the engine parts mostly are for addressing the power steering side that most include at the same time.

As posted prior the guys that have had problems with their upgrades all seem to be the ones that bought a piece meal package. When you have your donor, regardless of where it is stored you have access to all the parts.

I have been a part of helping hundreds of owners upgrade their trucks, have read the forums here daily for longer than the site reset join date shows, and will not change my mind on recommending buying your donor truck for power disc brake & power steering upgrades.
