Re: Steering Box Outside of Frame?
Several of the guys have used the setup that mounts the box up in front of the axle like a later C or K series truck.
The kits have been around since the 90's and work pretty well in most cases.
Old article here that does a pretty good job of explaining.
CPP sells kits at several levels from just the mount for the frame and the steering arm and drag link to complete kits

I'm not a big fan of hanging racks on I beam axles as it adds to unsprung weight and the steering shaft hook up has to be sliding back and forth with every bump and bobble.
I'm thinking that some wide and big wheel/tire combos don't fit well with it but that is a different ball of wax.
