I had to get a 2wd steering box to use this kit on my 68. There are pictures at the link above that demonstrate what the kit does but in short, it eliminate the pitman arm assembly and uses the passenger side steering knuckle for the pivot point for the steering assembly. This eliminates a lot of moving parts and helps keep the steering from binding when you get the truck twisted. To me, it makes the truck's steering much more responsive.

Ahh, cool, I had seen that before but wasn't real sure what I was looking at before. So really a guy could piece this kit together, I can order their draglink and get a RH steering arm & source my own ball joints and tie rod ends. This thing is not going to be a rock crawlin trail rider so I'm not worried about high steer or mega heavy duty ball joints.
