I seen a video of a guy with a power steering kit the box looks like mine but it looks like he mounted it on its side wondering if I can turn mine 1/4 turn on it’s side and get better wheel clearance since mine will rub on full right lock with tires over 33” tall

The box mounted on the side with pitman arm pointing straight down is a reverse rotation gear box . It is a much better design than the box you are currently using . Dodge moved away from the reverse box in about 75-76 . The parts are out there , just getting tough to locate . My Power Wagon has the reverse rotation box on it , it is a much advanced design for strength and stress on steering linkage with the larger tires . Google Dodge Reverse Rotation Steering Box , lots of good info to read .

Discovered that the floor under the seats was rotted out so I cut out the bad and replaced it with new metal

Could your Hummer tires and wheels have the run flat donuts in them ?

I have no idea the valve stems are missing and the tires feel hard as concrete tires weigh close to 400 pounds each

Here are some pics of floor and transmission cover

Your floor is looking good, your wheel looks just like mine used to, any plans for repairing it?
