What about the rag joint joint and all for that will I need to purchase anything of that nature?No, that is designed for the mini-truck ps box. An OEM box would just mount on the existing pedestal. If your confused about what works and what doesn't, I would call Georg @orangefj45 at Valley Hybrids in Stockton. He has a complete kit and can answer questions.
A 1976, and because I possibly have one available.what year rig are you trying to install the box onto?
why OEM PS versus the mini truck?

I mean so far I was just looking at a cooler and pump from jtoutfitters.what pump are you going to use?
cooler piping or aftermarket cooler?
the OEM box will mount directly to the OEM pedestal
the steering column needs to be spaced out into the cabin slightly to clear the difference in the 2 steering boxes
the same rag joint is used whether it is manual or power

Something like this?I had not heard of this option. Is this being done by adding a spacer at the firewall and moving the whole column or a spacer end of the column? End the column not dealing with the angle at the firewall. Still perfer finding the correct steering shaft or shorting a manual steering shaft.
Something like this?
I mean if I didn’t opt for this then would the steering shaft be pushed more into the cabin?For Sale - FJ40 Power Steering Length Steering Column
I am selling one that is a take off of my 1984. It has been professionally shortened from Manual Gearbox length. Asking $150 plus shipping.forum.ih8mud.com
So just trimming the colum to adjust for the movement of the shaft should work then?That has actually the column modified as well. The piece welded on that bolts to the bottom of dash is not stock. Stock it is a two piece clamp with a rubber pad. It also from another market if for a 84 model. US has a collapsible column 8/80+. Those are easy to modify for power steering. Just need to cut the short lower shaft and drive a hole.
It's the moving column up I hadn't hear of. Not sure I am a fan of moving steering wheel closer to the driver's seat.
