There is an easy solution to the problem, when your steering box tears a flap in the frame as is so common on 1972 up pick-ups. Something you can acomplish in your driveway and costs very little. The details are here:

....or you could get one of these. It is a factory piece that bolts between the steering box and the front cross member







My pic won't load :bawl:

There....I got it in there.


I got this one from the wreckers off of an early '80's truck. :)

You could, but when I did that, there was no time available to search any yards......I needed that truck now! Just another option.

And save looking through J-yards, cleaning, painting etc...

I must be getting old but I don't see where the tear is.
