Need Parts for build

Help Needed

Here is a list of parts i need and if anyone knows where i can get them let me know

1. Perches for front axle
2. Power stearing box (need to know what all i need to complete a power stearing conversion)
3. Brake boster and master with two ports (primary and secondary)

If it is cheaper to pull parts off fsj's let me know i have access to some

thank you for any help

perches for the axle you should be able to get through 4-wheel parts, or something of the like. . . The power steering stuff, . .definitely get the box with pitman arm off of the FSJ, as well as the brake booster. Unless you go to disk brakes on your truck, you don't want the proportioning valve, just block off the port going to the rear axle on your brake line manifold on the frame, and then just bring your rear brake line right up to the master cylinder. I took my brake booster off a FSJ, and then my master cylinder is for a chevy truck, late 60's, 4-wheel drum. They say the best master cylinder is the corvette one, but this one I had available and it works well.

is that all i need is the power steering box???? or do i need the stearing shaft????OR ANYTHING ELSE

Box and pitman arm, pump and hoses, brackets...can get it all of any FSJ with power steering from 74 and up.

Do we connect the PS box to the stock shaft at the rag-joint, using the stock rag-joint then?

Yes, just make sure you have a horn ground or there will be no horn. It is a little copper thing you should see it on your stock box. Make sure your new box has one or remove and reinstall your stock one.

Be sure that you get the coupler half that goes with your power steering box!

The original manual gear has a different spline than the power steering box. I can't remember which is coarse, or which is fine, but they will interchange and actually tighten down, but they will slip after only a few miles of driving. Not a good situation.

I also swapped out the steering column out of the FSJ so that I could get a real u-joint rather than the slip shaft setup that is stock. I think it is a much better setup in the long run. ..the u-joint shaft uses a different spline at the bottom of the column, so that is the reason for swapping the entire column. I had to do some cutting on the column and engineering to get the FSJ column into the M715 dash without damaging the stock dash.

You might want to go ahead and rebuild the rag joint while you have it apart Tim. NAPA and most parts places have the parts for less than $10.00. Then you can mix and match your stock steering shaft side up with the power box side with new rubber in the middle.
