Looks like a Decker kit.

 

[pygpen]

Yea the ones that Decker, Mudrak, and the late Butch Lewis use are real simular. Lukes has the flames though...... They all position the steering box the same.
Its the best kit around, I have one waiting to go on the 40.

Stupid question for you guys . Is this the way this should be set up

Will this mount directly to the fire wall ... Again sorry for the stupid questions

 

[Trollhole]

what year is your cruiser? If it is the later model with the key in colum. Save yourself some time and order the bearing that goes into the end from Kurt. www.cruiseroutfitters.

Luke also sells the non-flame version of the frame horn plates. I used those since the welding is easier. And yes-the top plates have threaded nuts welded on for the frame hooks.

Anyone have a part number for the bearing at the firewall?

 

[llih]

Yep that bearing goes on the firewall. There is also a bronze bushing that can fit inside the column depending on year. I used both, but that bearing alone is great. I think you need to reverse the yokes that are slid on the steering shaft. The larger one needs to go to the box and the smaller up towards the firewall. Try to place the end of shaft in the center of the larger yoke. That way the shaft can move in and out as the body and suspension flex. When i got my set up the yokes and joints were together and the upper yoke was pinned to the shaft. The assembly could only go one way.

looks good, i got a Bearing from Poser that sliped right over the steering shaft and went right into the firewall.. worked great!

Question.. What Yokes/u-joints and Slip shaft is that? a kit? or parted together.. Ive got Cheep Afco Joints and they are worn out, i need to upgrade

 

[Munday]

This all came as a kit from Luke @ 4x4 Labs . I belive the u-joints are Spicer just have to check . Here is an updated Picture Man I wish I had more time to work on it And if I had any idea what i was doing it would go alot faster . Thank you all for the help

ues #1 is the stock mounting plate. I imagine you could ask up in the wanted section, with kurt, or the like

It's factory on the 9/72' & later FJ40's. You could get one and adapt it to your shaft, but it would be easier IMHO to either buy a complete late model steering column, or just use the plate that uses your existing bolt holes (where your rubber "grommet" used to be secured with the small metal plates).

I always assembly the shaft as have it spread out... with the actual slip joint closest to the column... IMHO there is more room near the column then there is down by the steering box, especially when dodging different motor mount setups, alternators, PS pumps, etc. Either way will work the same assuming clearance isn't an issue...

 

[Hugh Heifer]

For my '71 I bought a couple low speed bearings at Northern Tool & Equipment for like $9. Slipped into the housing with some coaking and the steering shaft went right inside. Then I made a plate to weld the housing to that will bolt where the boot went to make the thing solid.

What length is that steering shaft???

Also at Nothern they have a pillow block that is great for a '72 or later. PN 1822-1701 for the housing and PN 1803-17-1 fot the bearing.
