Rack N Pinion on stock xmember, again...

I'm aware its been brought up a few times, but aside from the answer "it would take a lot of fab work"...I' don't get WHY we haven't found a way to do it yet? Personally, I'm on a weight saving mission, but I'm also on a budget. While a full PB xmember would be great, I don't really "need" one, and my truck is far enough along that fully removing the engine and crossmember isn't on my list of desires.

So what actually, specifically, stops it from being doable on a '66? (w/71 front suspension setup). I would think that if you trimmed the "lip" on the 'members front portion, and partially clearanced the a-arms, it could work...but I know standing here with a beer looking at it fully assembled...so ya know...optimism.

Anyone tried and actually had it work? Thoughts?
