Re: Project Old Girl
Yes the shifter will clear the door I just have to figure out a way to make a shifter linkage. I am thinking a cable shift will have to be the wat to go.

Re: Project Old Girl
The following might be of interest to you......
88 up power steering boxes bolt up with the use of an adaptor plate to the chassis and you need to lengthen the drag link by a couple of inches to suit. Its the most common power steering conversion here in Australia. That burnout by the way is Danny Smiths from here in Australia.

Re: Project Old Girl
The one from the 88 up bolts to the inside of the frame. So when you use it, it will bolt to the outside of the frame on the passenger side alowing the steering column to be in line.

I bought a new house and have not had time for the truck. Once everything gets settled down around here it's GAME ON.
