The adapter plates are about the best solution for the average truck builder, since not everyone has the equipment let alone the skill to correctly modify a frame. For those that do, notching the frame to accept the power steering box is definitely an option. For me, even though I have the equipment and the skill to modify the frame, it is simpler to just add the plate and stitch weld it to the frame. This adds a little bit of reinforcement to a stressful area of the frame as well. The difference in turning radius can typically be compensated for by adjusting the tierods more to one side.
