steering box question
Its been years since i did one of these steering boxes and i no longer have a squarebody truck ( at least here to look at) heres the question.. I have a buddy who has a 1986 K15 lifted on 33s he had his steering box replaced by a local mechanic who is now out of business. He came to me and asked me about a steering box issue in which i notices that out of the three bolts that hold the box to the frame only two are there, the other the top of the bolt snapped off and it broke basically level with the box. There is probably a quarter inch gap between the bon and the frame rail.
Does anyone know if there is a spacer in there or something that may have fallen out when the bolt broke? Secondly can anyone tell me the exact size and thread of the bolts so i can buy them ahead of time for when he drops me the truck to fix?
