Re: Father n Son 71 Short Bed

Has anyone ever seen a power steering box pull the frame apart like this before? The big problem is that the lower bolt is even with the wall of the frame rail so I can't get a socket on it to remove the steering box. I decided to use the persuasion tool and a wooden block to see if I can move it enough to get a socket on it. I whacked it a few times and really couldn't even tell that I did anything. Any ideas??

Looks like a pervious owner might have taken it stump jumping and caught one on the bottom end of the steering box. Diffidently something new I haven't seen before.

We got the cab off this afternoon with our homemade lift attachment.
