Default Re: steering box mounting frame holes

I'd do the same as Brentwood Bob. When you get your pattern made, compare it to the steering box. Get a thick piece of copper and clamp it to the opposite side of the frame when welding. Grind your weld smooth and do the same procedure for the opposite side. Buy new bolts and nuts from Snyder's.

The nuts go on the outside of the frame, not enough clearance on the gear box side for the nuts, unless the steering box is worn. Get them gooden tite and replace the anti rattler.

Make sure the clamp is drawn up all the way to the mount.

It would be a good idea to replace the pitman arm bolt also
