I tried to install a P/S box using the worlds biggest POS adaptor and I found AFTER drilling holes per instructions that it not only did the bolt pattern of the adaptor not line up with the P/S box bolt holes, the holes were off on the adaptor. It also installed "nose up"..... the rag joint was 1 1/2" higher than the steering column...

I bought the unused EZ adaptor from a buddy for half what he paid for it thinking I got a good deal. He was nice enought to give me my money back.

I told my good friend Jim J to get Cap-fabs unit and he told me he ordered it already and gave me his EZ adaptor.
I went out and found an original style 66 reman-manual steering box and I am using that until I find a LWB leaf frame, 69-72 and I will just deal with the conversion to mount my 66 cab rather than carve up this frame any more.

I made a mess of the frame trying to get this all to work.
