Finished up my newly rebuilt steering box today. Drilled and tapped for hydro assist. Rebuild wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting.

Little steps at a time. It's been tough lately since I am working 7 days a week till the end of October.
Started to work on my tierod a few days ago, ran into an issue. I bought a Y link style steering kit but didn't factor in the over the knuckle setup of the SOLID knuckles. with my tierod so much higher up, my draglink would hit the passenger side leaf spring. I figured I had two options either get a drop pitman arm or swap over to crossover steering. The factory pitman arm is super beefy compared to most of the aftermarket ones Ive seen so I'm going to order a passenger side highsteer arm to go crossover instead. Im able to use everything from the steering kit I bought other than 1 joint. So I need to order another 2234L chevy joint for my draglink since I'm now using that joint on the tierod.
So today I had 20 minutes before dinner was ready so I got my tierod all cut and ready to be welded

I had to get a ES23434?. It's an off set end which allowed the drag link and tie rod not to interfere with each other. With the original kit they hit each other and didn't allow the end to go through the knuckle.

Big thanks to FOURWHEELSUPPLY. Ryan is one of the few vendors who offers a reasonably priced highsteer arm for my knuckles. He didn't have any arms ready when I ordered and said it might get out Monday (today) as he had to machine one so I don't know what he did but it shipped friday and arrived today. He also had the joint I needed to complete my setup in stock so I had him send one of those as well.
1.25" thick steel arm, with the 6th bolt and keyway for my knuckle.
