Manual steering box

From transam84: 'I mocked up the man gearbox I just bought on friday at the junkyard and there are 2 little mods you have to do to make it work. if your standing at your drivers side fender and looking down at the gear box you will have 2 mounting hole on top of the gearbox, the one closer to the firewall needs a slight mod. you will need to pull out the ole angle grinder and grind a slot in the webbing to accomidate the bracket that the swaybar is bolted to, bad description of the brkt but you will know what I meen after you get your old gearbox out. one other very little mod was I had to use a hammer (I know this sounds bad) and dent the frame just slightly enough to make the gear box sit flat to the frame.'

Has anyone else had these problems? If so, was it with the S-10 steering box?

Re: Manual steering box

I didn't do anything like that, but I also took my front sway bar off well before I did the steering box. The box is one from an s-10.
