Re: Question about power steering conversion

My plan would be to slightly "c notch" the frame vertically and then adding some plates on the inside of the frame to add a little more strength where the box mounts.

Any input?
Somebody on here did the exact mod you are talking about. He cut a piece out of the frame to clear the bulge on the box and welded a brace over the hole on the other side. Hopefully it will turn up on a search.
