Yep, that is it. If you have any local fab. shops, they might have some laying around if they do crossover steering conversions on the older trucks. Part of that swap is removing the old p/s box and putting in the IFS box.

 

I'll go to a junk yard and pull one if they have one

 

Is it hard to get to the steering gear box with a v8 in it?

 

The steering box is on the outside of the frame. Should be easy to get to know matter what engine you have. Here's mine and I have a v8.

 

ok thanks i was just making sure before i put motor in without power steering. I will be getting it next week sometime and hoping to get the motor and transmission in tomorrow

 

well my plans of having it running this weekend came to a screeching halt i have to wait til tuesday to get a new pilot bearing. the one that was in it was seized up good thing i checked it. another question travis on your motor mounts the stock 22r mounts have the mounting plate that sticks out off the frame did you have to cut them off or did you mount your mounts on them? I figured i have to cut them

 

I cut them off and built new mounts.

 

Last day with the 22r in it

 

Yeah i figured i would have to i want to put transmission on motor slide it in and see how everything will fit and go ahead and weld the mounts on

 

What came out of it






One empty truck

 

can someone post some pics of the engine mount set up they use or measurements on the frame where they mounted them

 

Here are mine I have in my truck they are the old chevy style mount with a single bolt comes up from the bottom to the center of the mount



Here are my brothers mounts that are a solid mount off the engine with a rubber bushing at the frame

 

That helps a lot i was having problems getting motor in to see where mounts go now i see what's going on

 

What's going in it

 

Well got my motor sat in before a storm came in now to see if the transmission will go in easy. Got a question how far back is your motor and how far forward did you move your radiator

 

Got motor and transmission in now so now i think its just the easy stuff left to do

 

so I'm having starter problems and hoping one of ya'll can help. wired the starter up and when i hooked the battery up it started running with out turning the key i thought the wire on the s terminal was staying hot i unhooked it and done it again is the solenoid bad because i bought it yesterday or could some of the wires in it be touching

 

Mine did that with a stuck solenoid.

 

That's what I'm thinking can i fix it by tearing solinoid apart

 

Can't hurt, pull it apart for a look:

Common problem causes are badly worn contacts or excessive dirt or grease inside causing the plunger to get stuck in the bore of the solenoid. But if the solenoid control wire is always hot, then find out why:
