Hey guys, can anyone give me some pointers here. Ive got a Dana 44 going in the front of my 40. I want to run a power steering box (Saginaw maybe). Can I do this and keep the steering arm on the drivers side or do I have to go to crossover?

For the sake of geometry the answer should be no. The type of steering you are talking about would be just fine on the highway most of the time. It would be a disaster off road. Crossover gives the suspension and steering independence. The steering is able to stay relatively true regardless of the angle on the suspension. If you attach the steering directly from the pitman to the center link or the same for the same sides steering arm. Steering will be effected by every little bit of suspension travel. You can read that as "hit a small bump on the road, turned hard right".
If i go to crossover is there any complications with running a mid 80's Chevy box? What is the advantage of the Saginaw box over one of these
