    Deuce power steering conversion

    Since I bought these gears "already pulled" I can't tell for sure. Supposedly, FORD F600-800 from the late 70's. Knowing the stamped model number it helps to narrow down the possible application. (see attached chart, below) Depending what model HF54 you have, it either has a fully splined output...

    Yes, it depends mainly on your skills to modify what does exist out there... At the same time I'm aware that I shouldn't even mention welding these parts... More or less I know what I do, where and how... but I don't want to feel responsible for what others do... (or fail to do!) G.

    Deuce power steering conversion

    According to spicergear those are for aditional ram assist which I don't need so far. And NO, no clearance issues if I wanted to connect them. Sorry, no numbers to help with. I could make a little drawing with dimensions, tough. Very often the stock drag link comes attached to the st-box and...
