Re: New toy!

OK, going back to original idea. Big question is steering geometry. Old truck has box and driver's knuckle connecting in front of axle.






New axle the drag link is behind.



Is this going to be an issue?

OK, I'm confused. On my 68/89 the drag link is in back but the steering box hooks to the front. See post 97 in my build http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...3&postcount=97

I thought they all had the steering box in front and drag link behind... Can you show me a picture of what is under it now?

Ok, so how is the donor axle set up? Is it the Chevy 3500 axle?
