Who cuts the factory steering gear box pedastal for mini boxes?

[DanS HJ-45]

For you guys that have put the guts of a mini into a casing...

It's just a SFS PS box that works, or can you use one from an IFS pickup? And how about an RHD PS unit from an IFS truck, do you think that would adapt to a LHD casing?

I'm definitely thinking that an OEM (or OEM style) PS setup on my HJ-45 would be killer.

i did the same thing for a customer here and i used the stock hoses pump and resivour from the pickup its neat and clean but may not work for a 10 point truck . on an earlier truck i did i had to get the newer pedestal for the steering box.i had cut up a few 82 83 40s so i had the stock parts for some of these when i ran out i used the mini box on my own cut down pedestal good luck

Yes its a Hadley... Haven't installed yet, What size bolts to use ? Do you weld it in ? Wonder how hard it is to get the nuts and washers on inside the frame. Any ideas ?? Thanks

Did you make that yourself or is that a Hadley Industries mentioned earlier?

I swapped the guts into the factory casing for mine. It is much nicer to look at. I installed the seal kit myself also (be careful if you do it). I then used a '91 PS pump and FJ80 hard lines. Check it out...

Works great, had to trim off little for the Pitman arm clearance
Good stuff
