I read the post for the 86 trooper power steering swap but I cant seem to find a 86 trooper donor. wondering what else will work on a 79 4x4 luv.

'84 or '85 Trooper will work even better, they used the same engine series as the LUV so any bracketry that bolts to the engine is a direct swap, no mods needed.

Power box bolts to the frame using the same holes as the manual box. I think you may have to enlarge some of the holes. The steering shaft needs modified to mate to the power box.

There's an '88 Trooper 2.3 at the U-Pull-It near me. Would that work?
