Is the idea that of putting a GM steering gear at the horn of a truck and then making the linkage with u-joints?
James: ***That’s the general idea. The u-joint at the steering box is almost straight, and the one at the base of the column is about 50-60 degrees.*** Jeff: That’s some mighty tight, almost 90deg, turns isn’t it? It’s also a problem for me in clearing the V8 exhaust and PTO shaft. *** Yeah, if you’re running a Ford V-8, you need to deal with the oil filter too! If you’ve got the PTO, then your problem is even more interesting. Since I hate repairing broke winch cables, you might think about running a hydraulic pump off the PTO, and then use a hydraulic winch…($$$)And, this is a lot lot of steering geometry to change so I’d suggest some care and thought to get it all done correctly. James: **Fortunately, the engineering has already been done. If you duplicate the column geometry from a 1971-1975 CJ-5 you’re in good shape. *** Jeff: I prefer the steering geometry that you get with the original setup on my wagon so I’ve been looking at ways to put a newer box there and keep the origina
