ok here is an up date. Old gear is out ,addapter and new gear mounted, steering shaft is cut.
As allways, I did run into a few problems, old pitman arm needed a lot of coaxing to get it out. 2nd ,the addaptor plates instructions were a bit "off" it said to drill out the lower front bolt hole on the new gear, I found out that on the 60 I had to drill out the upper hole on the rear. And 3rd my pitman arm on the donor gear is not leting me tighten it up, so I'll get a new one tomorow
That said it wasnt bad I still need to install the hoses, and get one bolt to finish mounting the box. I also need to install the steering shaft, and get that pitman arm and bleed it .
I know I said i was going to do this Friday but who wants to watch the Lions play? anyways I took some pics, and will post them when all is done. Thanks to all who said it was an afternoon job it is.
