Seems like p/steering upgrades are on alot of peoples to do lists. I've been reading/searching allot of this myself. I decided to go with the Scout box, as it just seems like the easier of the two main options ( Saginaw out front, or Scout ) to install. When deciding where/how to mount the box, am I looking to keep the swing of the pitman arm as flat as possible, or is this mainly a non issue. For the guys who have done this, do you feel like doing the Ford shock tower mod would of been better/easier then dealing with the stock one? The reason I ask is, I don't have access to a plasma cutter or torches. An option could be grinding off the rivets and pulling the stock shock mount, then modifying, then bolting on. Good idea ( bolts ) ? For a steering shaft, I have one from an '88 mini, and one from a '95 T-100. My gameplan from looking at both shafts, use the ragjoint/ujoint from the mini ( bigger ujoint than T-100 ) that originally connected to the mini p/s box, and connect it to my Cruiser ragjoint coupler. This would allow me to use stock Toyota parts at the firewall side ( for future replacements). Stock mini steering shaft w/slip joint shortend to whatever length I'll need with a 13/16"x 36 ujoint for the Scout box. I have a 2 1/2" drop pitman arm, and the relay rod Mark sells, sleeves for the frame, and will pick up some plate to add to mounting area. Can anyone add to what I might have missed? Thanks Guys, the info/experiance you Guys have to offer is amazing. Al
