We moved the steering box foward on the chassis about 2" to gain better alignment of the drag link

We machined 2 double D's on the steering shaft and steering box so we could add a u-joint to the steering shaft to compensate for moving the steering box

Now with everything installed we have perfect alignment of the drag link to the right front wheel and also clear the oil pan.
