Whanks for the fast shipping! its a great product!

I bought the new steering coupler, What do i need to do for a rag joint?

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

If your steering box doesn't have one on it, you will need the correct one for that box. There are 3 different sizes/splines on the input shaft. There are 2 different splines on a 3/4" shaft, and then a 13/16" diameter shaft. A Napa store might be your best bet at finding someone that can figure it out and get you what you need. If you happen to know what year your steering box is, that will be a big help.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

With so many different variations that guys are using for the conversion I'm still just a little confused. Can I use the the original 66 idler arm and steering linkage with a 79 pitman arm or do I need to make other changes. I will be ordering the adapter plate soon and I just want to know where I stand on this conversion. Thank, Brett

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

You can keep everything and just install the powersteering box with its pitman arm:
All linkage and idler arm can remain.
Here is my conversion:

The template I made is now included with Captain's Adapter Plate.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

If you are keeping the drum brakes, then you can keep the original draglink, idler arm, and tie rods. If you are converting to discs, then if you keep your original steering linkage, you will need to change at least the outter tie rods. There is an off the shelf tie rod that allows you to do this without the need for the expensive adapter sleeves, but I don't have that part number. You might try posting the question, here on the forum, Someont here posted the number not long ago. I wasn't concerned with it, as I always change all the steering linkage to the later model components. That requires locating and drilling new holes for the idler are though. It isn't difficult if you just take your time and use the original for a reference.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Thanks for the information. That's what I was hoping. I already have new 2 1/2" drop spindles, new tie rod ends and adjusters, and the idler arm and steering linkage installed. I temporarily put the stock manual gear on so I could manuver the truck to work on it. Right now I'm in the process of redoing the rear of the frame and suspension.

Capt., I'll be ordering your adapter as soon as I finish up the rear suspension upgrades. Thanks, Brett

Hey john, as you knowI bought this bracket from you a week ago (looks very high quality btw) and I was just wondering, will this fit 60-66? I originally bought it for 65 but I need another one fr 61. Thanks!

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

I just sent payment! Maybe there outa be a cowbell every time one is sold!

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

The current adapter plate works only on the '63-'66's. I have been wanting to design one for the '60-'62's but just haven't had time.

Thanks for the compliment Bryan :)

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Id feel better if that was the case I have all the time in the world right now. Going through demobilization trying to get back home lots planned once I get there. Build thread is coming.

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Another satisfied customer of Captainfabs plate. The truck is at the shop getting aligned after completing power disc brakes, new suspension, and now POWER STEERING!!!! The only thing I would suggest is not messing with pre made hoses. That was the worst part of the job. I should have just had them made........

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
 

Thanks for the kind words :)

Re: Power Steering Adapter Plates
