Re: 61 power steering mount, does this look right?

I have a 61 truck as well...my power steering box had the same installation issue.

Like you are going to do, I welded a small plate over the top of the slot in the frame, took a bit of fiberglass body filler, smoothed out the rough edges and hit it with some black rattle-can...

Good luck on your project...it looks just like mine and mine works great!

Tom

Thanks Tom
I already plated it, I was worried something else might be off I haven't caught yet.

The 60-62 kit I got off of CPP was a bolt on kit and included spacers. No slot on my frame
