You may want to check into the sag power steering using a FJ60 box. It's a cleaner conversion and you dont have to chop the frame...

I got the saginaw power steering pump plate made today and tacked on the frame. I also got the hole cut through the crossmember. I am debating on which steering shaft to go with. The spicer joints or with the borgeson slip shaft?

Sweet! really like that color. Any more details on the paint? Single stage? Base+ Clear coat? Price?

The paint is a base plus clear coat Dupont. It all cost about 700 bucks. I am really happy how it turned out.

Thanks for the info. Parts of my truck are currently painted a pretty close flat version of that color. I have added this color to my short list of possible colors to paint mine.

Saginaw PS Conversion
Here are some pics of the progress. i hade the spacers out of 1 inch round stock. I have all the parts I need now to complete the conversion, now I need to find some time. (Anybody got any time for sale
) Anyway, I got borgeson u-joints and a borgeson telescoping steering shaft.

I fabbed this tray out of angle iron and flat bar. Worked out pretty good, just have to finish welding and paint it up. I used the stock tray which bolts in.
