I have a Vega Steering box that I need to go find a pitman arm for, that will get rid of the steering pump and big huge power box.

Any sugestions on a OEM dual resevor manual brake master? That's another thing I was to swap out.

Those are the weight savings on the cheap, I want to buy a glass hood first, then fenders, maybe nose come too. But that will be in stages.

I was thinking about cutting out the factory front cross member and redoing it in 2x3 .120 or .180 wall... But that might be a ton of work for very little savings.
Reviving this old thread on a question. Would that Vega box bolt in to my 64 2wd?? I'm trying to get rid of this leaky, crappy power steering setup I have and have a temporary fix until I get the rack and pinion.. Ebay has a full setup right now for 140 shipped. Wondering if this would be a good route to go??
