    Saginaw 2.75 turn vs. 4.25?

    I just got my saginaw box in from NAPA today and it's a 3 1/2 turn box. They say with the part number, NSP88277080, there is no way to determine how many turns the box will be until it arrives.

    thanks for all the advice, the truck already has a disc brake conversion in the front. As far as fabricating PS box brackets etc. I'm going to get some from 4x4labs.com seeing as how I've never fabricated before and want it to look clean when finished. I'll throw some more pictures up of the...

    Just got my 1973 FJ40 back to Virginia from Alaska and have started to buy parts to rebuild the front end along with a Saginaw PS conversion.
