hey i was wondering what you guys thought about making your own cross over steering, ive been blessed with getting an 85 pickup with 33s and no power steering and i have no money but alot of metal and spare parts laying around so my question is what if you were to take your arms off your knuckles flip them over and put them on the other side then cut out a peice of 12 gage metal with a hole in the middle and welded it on for your second bracket, for the pitman arm bar to bolt on for the steering, then take a peice of pipe or tubing and get some tie rod ends and put a large nut on the end tak it to the tie rod then weld the nut to the pipe for the pitman arm/ to steering arm, then repeat for the track bar then just fab up the mounting plate for the ifs steering box? and ideas? or waste of time?
