Thanks for the input. I'd be interested in the 40 pedestal. I'll PM you. On the 40 pedestal, what happens with the shock mount? Would I keep what's there now?Sorry, but I agree with Mark on this one. That bracket needs to go. It isn't fully welded and the the steel is not nearly as heavy as the cast OEM pedestal. It also isn't gusseted properly and your photos only show 2 bolts through the frame. While the shock tower portion is probably ok, I wouldn't run the steering box mount. Since it's a mini truck box it will bolt to a stock 40 pedestal that are readily available used. A lot of people remove them when they eliminate the extra linkage and put a 60 or Saginaw box on. I know I have a couple kicking around and would gladly send you one if you want it.
Is there any logic to beefing up the current set up by adding some gussets? Think I'll add another bolt through the frame at a bare minimum until I get this dealt with.
