@irish1941. Are you actually welding a new steering box into place between a brace and the frame or welding in place a new brace and then bolting the steering box to both it and the existing frame? Could you post a couple of pictures of the set up please?

Nope. Its a bolt on brace. AutoFab makes them. No welding but you'll be drilling a hole. There is a difference between 73-80 and 81-87(91)

There is weld on frame plates if your frame is cracked which it be could. See above link.
Only way to tell in take off the PS box and look for stress cracks around the bolt holes on the frame. Ive used bolt on brace on repaired frames.
