What? I would love to see some pictures of that data plate.

I'm certain this would be a great kit. But the price is a bit too salty for my taste. I'm hunting the old Ford/Int trucks looking for a box to liberate.

That 9" arm will reduce the box's mechanical advantage, and effectively "Quicken" the steering ratio. I think I understand your logic. I have the machine shop of a modest college at my disposal... I could whittle one out if I have to. I can make a drag link as well with two tie rod ends and jam...

Gringeltaube, do you have either part numbers, donor truck data, or measurements for the drag link and pitman arm you used? This question is open to anyone who has done this mod. I can get the box for <$200 from a junkyard, but it's out of the truck on a shelf. I will have to find the other...

Use a 5-ton pump? If you find one, see if they have the reservoir as well. This is my 2nd or third modification on my list... I'm curious where everyone is getting parts from, and at what cost. If the Boyce kit is twice the price, I'll just piece mine together.

I'm bumping this... it should be a sticky or added to the FAQ. Awesome write up.
