I am looking into crossover steering for my 72 chevy swb. has the stock front axle(i think dana 44). i put 6" springs in the front and have shackles in the front also and a 3" body.I really would like to find the crossover used but will look at new kit. Anybody know of a good website for this kit???
I have a 1972 SWB chevy 4x4 with a stepside bed.Thanks

Before you can do crossover you need to varify if your D44 has a flatTop knuckle on it or not.
Look on the pass side next to the top ball joint, do you see a flat serface?
Do a google search for pics of D44 Crossover, that flat serface needs to be drilled and tapped so you can mount a steering arm there.
If you have ever thought about installing a D60 front then don't do the crossover until you swap out the axle for a D60.
www.wfoconcepts.com is a great source for steering and other custom stuff
