Power steering conversion 1967 FJ 40

[Ironguy]

I'm looking for suggestions for power steering conversion kits for my 1967 Land Cruiser. Any hints?
Thanks

What is your intended configuration for your FJ-40? Intended use/configuration may point to one of the power steering conversions more than the other.

The engine is a short block v8 Chev. I do some desert travelling and not too serious rock crawling.

So I'm going to say start researching Saginaw conversions!

If you have a chebby, sagniaw is going to be the easist imo. FJ60 would also be pretty simple to do.

Thank you. I was sort of thinking in that direction. The present setup is pretty much OEM.

On my 65 with a V8 I put a Saginaw pump with a factory FJ40 power steering box from a 79. You’ll need to cut the original one piece steering column and weld an adapter at the end. You could also use a mini truck box. There are lots of helpful material on the conversion here on mud. It’s an upgrade worth the effort for sure. My FJ45 almost feels like a modern car, almost

Minitruck and 40 factory boxes are becoming impossible to find, or way expensive. I'd recomend a more common route.

electric is an option

4x4labs makes a great mount , Redhead makes a good steering box

^ this. Hearing good things about this. @wngrog has some info on this and run time. Way simpler conversion cab side. Not engine bay. If it’s light duty use it makes good sense.

The electric kit is for cruisers with steering column keys. 73+

Thank you sir! This one was converted from column to stick shift sometime in the distant past. Electric might not work for this application?

I'm thinking I need to start collecting and hoarding 1 piece steering boxes. For each one being cut for p/s makes an unmolested one more valuable.
