so, some of you know i am in california at the moment completing rondog's 4by with my truck.

i have run into a problem.

the 4wd doesnt have a steering gearbox, and im trying to install the 2wd steering gearbox.

im trying to get it to work, but we can't get it to fit. it looks like the box will bolt to the frame, but the arm isn't fitting to the linkage to the new truck.

i'm trying to find a part number for the gearbox and arm from my truck, but i figured i would ask here and see if anyone knows right off if the gearbox is right for the 4wd?

someone give me a call if you know the answer. i wont be near the computer anytime soon.

(801) 310-3581

ok, just looked up the part numbers and the 4wd steering linkage arms are different from my 2wd arms.

does anyone have any spare arms or know of any junkyards here in so cal that may have a 4wd in there somewhere?

Can you simple swap out the entire 2wd steering setup? i haven't looked closely at mine, so I'm not sure.
