Re: power steering conversion

I haven't but now you have me snooping into it. I think it was a Toyota 4x4 box I was looking at pondering if it would work for a cross steer setup with a stock axle.

On a Chevy you would still mount the Toyota box on top of the frame like the stock box is but you could build your mount so it offsets to the outside just as you would offset a stock box for a V8 swap. Running the sector shaft through the frame rail like on a Ford might put far too much angle on the drag link and cause bump steer. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/ford...ower-steering/ is the HRM article on doing the swap on a F 100
