Re: 58 disc brakes/power steering

What steering box are you using and pitman arm? Where did you pick the set up from? My neighbor recently bought a 57 with similar setup but it looks terrible it was home built and he wants to change it

Re: 58 disc brakes/power steering

oh, didn't realize the shock ran so close to the steering shaft~ Good pictures, really helps me ~ I'll be doing the PS upgrade in a few weeks, or months whichever comes first! ; )

Re: 58 disc brakes/power steering

Thanks, so where do I find the steering gear? salvage yard or a reconditioned one. That seemed like a pretty good price on the kit! ; )
