Well after a semi-nightmare the 54 is up and running again. If not mentioned earlier am now embarrassingly too old to lift a heavy steering box with one hand and bolt it on with the other. l took a long bolt (with same thread as box) cut head off and used it as a pilot to lift, place and rotate box into position. Had misfortune to nick a copper brake line and spent much time learning the joy of line bending and skill of double flare creation. All subsequent to having bleeding fits due to a stuck proportioning valve. Was all worth it. All new steering is great! No longer need both lanes! Currently adjusting steering wheel to be straight and repainting everything that got soaked in brake fluid. Pics soon. While under truck with wrench i'm thinking this all looked SOOOO EASY on TV!!!
