[bobbed80yota]

so i got no power steering on my 80 toyota and i want to know how can i get power steering in my truck when i got the truck it came with a full power steering setup i looked at it and its not a direct bolt on it looks like i would have to weld a bracket on the frame can any one help me :redneck:

If you have the money I would get a high steer kit and a ifs box just cause if you are serios about getting into wheeling you will do it eventually anywase. Now I do believe it is the same mount. That box should mount derictly to the plate the other one is mounted on. Do u have a pump?

It should be a bolt-on....or the power steering box has a bracket that bolts in place of the manual box bracket...

You will also need to flip that pitman arm

what do i have to do to the frame do u have any pics i want to wheel and keep up on the trails

 

[nate8887]

You shouldnt have to do anthing to the frame. Unless you get an ifs box and a hysteer kit then you plate the frame brace it then drill new holes

push pull steering in a wheeler just sucks

that steering box you are showing in the first pick is an IFS box that you use on a hy-steer or X-over steer setup, there are aftermarket brackets that weld onto your frame to mount it, available from Marlin Crawler, Trail-gear, and All-pro but it will not straight across replace your non-power steering box
