Steering box

Just Picked up a 72 lWB frame local that was shipped up from texas.. Going to be the start of a Frame off build. Frame has front disk brakes, But has a manual Steering Box. It does have all new parts on the front end. Would it be possible for that to have been changed... Any pointers.

Re: Steering box

While disc brakes were standard in 71-72 RPO N40 power steering was optional, expensive and heavy. From your LWB description guessing its a C10 you are building. Anyway it can be added to your frame.
