Re: Question about power steering conversion

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.
