howdy, folks!
got some power steering bits in from Georg. Gunna do a saginaw pump in the fj60 2F bracket; got a pulley and hoses, some TREs and pieces of drag links. The plan is to retain the fj55 passenger side drag link tre, married to an fj80 pitman arm tre with a piece of heavy wall DOM- hopefully I can use the fj80 pitman arm; otherwise, I'll have to buy an fj60 pitman and drivers side tre. Im only running 235/85/16 rn, so the tires wont be stressing the leaner linkages. I'll go full bore on the drag link and relay rod later, when I do the front axle. Got an fj&? steering slip joint to join the column to the gear box. Will plate both sides of the frame for the box. aside from these things, I still need to get the JimC smog pump delete idler, the actual pump and cap, and MAYBE some shock towers, but I'm gunna try to mod the stockers for now. buckin fudgits; yknow...
Hoping to get this going this weekend, but likely wont cut it all in till next weekend, after crashing the climbers party in Joshua Tree for TG...

The color of the mounting plate is duplicolor engine enamel “cast iron”. Dumb luck on the apparent match.

Local Toyota has dirt cheap prices for lenses and gaskets.
My new hardware should have been here yesterday. Oh well.
I’m happy with my gun drilled metric carriage bolts.
Thank you for the offer on your spare parts, @scrapdaddy!!!
Bob, I touched the sheet metal day before yesterday…

Quick Haff-assed update:
Got the fzj80 power steering conversion functioning. Lots of finish work to do still, but it’s in, and boy howdy, does it work. Effortless steering while rolling, and almost effortless while stopped.
Need to go thru and finish weld the frame plate, install the ford shock towers, axle side shock mounts, and shocks.
One thing I’ve noticed is that there seems to be only about 2 full turns either direction before hitting the stops; maybe less. I know this box has a lot more room to go before it runs out.
Is there a way to limit the box, or possibly use a shorter pitman arm to get more turns of the steering wheel before I hit the axle stops? Or should o just rejoice that I am no longer going into traction after making a left hand turn from a stop light?
