I’ve got a ton of slop in my steering box and need to do something about it sooner than later.
Advance auto . order online for the discount and use local pickup. as far as dimpling the frame it takes very little , I just made 2 relief cuts and used some heat to make it fit without beating up the frame and stitched welded it back . Don't use washers or spacers . the drivers side core support bracket needs to be clearanced some on the 67 frame for the steering gear to fit . use a new Lares 201 steering coupler , Double check the fit of the coupler at the store .
