Well I have started the power steering conversion this afternoon and hit another wall.

I have a power steering box from an 85 Wagoneer. From what I've read it is supposed to be a bolt in operation.

It is not.

The box is too long. The top of the box hits the bottom of the frame at the front of the truck. It looks like I'd need to take out at least half an inch of the frame to get the box to bolt in.

That is not going to happen.

I've looked everywhere on the box to see a 76 in the casting somewhere but do not see it anywhere.

Anyone else have this problem before? What did you do to solve it?

I'm looking for another power steering box now but am open to any other suggestions.
