Re: Help fix power steering conversion | 66 K20
The first thing I see is that the steering box is not mounted correctly on the frame. Secondly is that a 2wd steering box and pitman arm is used. Usually when a 2wd steering box and pitman arm are used, a crossover steering linkage is installed. This is where a draglink attaches to the pitman arm and runs over to the passenger side. Then a tierod from side to side. The issue with correcting what you have is there are no parts are made for a closed knuckle 44 to do what you need. One option is to reposition the steering box, using a 4wd box and pitman arm. Then locate an original steering arm and connect the pitman arm to the steering arm with a '69-'86 K series draglink assembly, but the steering arm may still need to be shortened. Another option would be to upgrade to a later model Dana 44 or Corp 10 bolt.
