steering on 77 (1 Viewer)

[thewatergoblin]

OK, dumb question probably, ive got a 77 40, all the aftermarket steering set ups say from 79 up, I assume the larger bolt pattern. Anyone know of steering for the 77, I prefer hysteer, dont really like the crossover, dont think it will work anyway. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can merely bolt on a '79 and later mini-truck or Cruiser knuckle housing. They have the longer bolt pattern (same width), but other than that, the housings are identical.

if changing the steering knuckles, you can keep all your factory disk brake stuff, right?

Correct!
