That looks like the stock push pull steering setup. If your asking about high steer then your going to have to get a different steering box moved forward and buy a kit. TONS of guys have done high-steer so there's no lack of info abut it search.

I think you might just be mixing terms. You don't have high steer. It was not stock on these trucks. They have push-pull steering. Hi-steer is a modification requiring a later-model steering box, welding, and a lift.

So: yes you can swap a stock 79-83 (or maybe through 85?) steering box onto your truck from another toyota. It matters whether you're getting a box just like yours, though. If you don't have power steering, there are some minor modifications you'd need to do if you picked up a power steering box. But this is not high-steer.

But NO, you can't take a 79-83 truck with the high-steer modification and bolt it right up to your truck. It would require modifcations to your truck.

I once mistakenly identified a Breaker Breaker as a Wolverine too. That's definitely a Breaker Breaker.

Wow this is great!! Just when I thought I had seen all the Yotas. I remember in Iraq we actually had a Toyota that was made in the the 1950's on our Forward Operating Base. We found it in a hanger more or less barried under a bunch of junk in a shipping container. Nobody had been in the hanger since the first gulfwar. We wondered if maybe someone else had tried to bring it home during the first conflict. Pretty cool stuff indeed. I read the magazine article in the first link and got a chuckle. The man interviewed in the article said that he thought mini trucks would be the next trend in custom vehicles through the 80's. He was right, at least in my area he was. I remember minitruckin' being the thing to do.
