Hi guys. This is probably the millioneth post about the infamous Highboy steering, so bear with me.

About a year ago, I was browsing eBay for the conversion kit and couldn't find anything. So I checked out for previous buyers of the kit that Brent sold some to and then emailed about 5 or 6 of them.

I got one response from a Wayne Anderson dude whom has a restoration business. He replied that he had the kit and only used the pump, brackets, hoses and belt from the kit and would sell me the leftover parts of which were unused. So I bought them.

Fast forward to today: a buddy of mine has a Highboy and wants a kit like mine. After checking the parts out from Wayne, I realized these were easily obtained parts over the counter at any local Pep Girls, etc. Only thing is, I don't know what part numbers to look for.

Does anyone else here who may have this kit from the Brent guy off eBay have any part numbers for the drag link ends and pitman arm? I've already got a guy making the brackets and adjusting sleeve to join the DRE's. The ends I have here are Moog units but I have no idea what the pitman arm is from. It does have some numbers casted on it but they're very faint.

If I can obtain some numbers for these parts, I may even look into making the kit like the one from eBay to sell back out to any HB owner. I'm also looking into other setups utilizing different gearboxes and also to have the option of crossover steering, too. I have about 4 or 5 different gearboxes in my shop to "hold up" to the frame and see what "hits and fits", etc.

And yeah, don't worry, I've been lurking on this site for a while and have done plenty of searching. I already know about the 77.5-79 F250/350 gearboxes.

Oh yeah, a brief description of me: I'm a die hard Chevy K30 guy, a member on ColoradoK5.com and go by the same username as here. The Highboy was my first and true love of all trucks. I figured after lurking here for a while that its time to be a member and interact with everyone. I'm only here for mainly the '73-'79 forum. I've had around a handful of these trucks so I can say I know some stuff about them. I'm more knowledgable in the GM trucks though.

Nice to meet everyone and thanks to anyone who can help out with finding the part numbers I'm requesting.

 

I checked the pitman arm from that kit that was available from eBay. It had castings on both sides of the arm.

They said:

FK2 753 on one side.

25042838 or 25042038. It was hard to decipher the 0 or 8.

Would anyone know of these numbers or be able to track them? The arm is smaller than the aftermarket pitman arms for a '76-'79 F150.
