Your best bet would be to boxthe frame in the front on the drivers side and use a stock 1/2 ton 4x4 79 ford steeringbox. Then just hook upthe steering on the dana 44 using the stock draglink. I have all of these parts if you need them

I'll sale a 79 1/2 4x4 box for $50 and the shaft for $25 I'd need your zip for a shipping quote unless you plan to pick it up

take a 2x6x.188 steel tubing and gusset the front of the frame. take that center support out. more room. have to get a 79 4x4 steering box and pitman arm. the shaft is thicker then the 2wd model. buy a u joint for your steering shaft to make the extension. really easy to do i have done 7 of those trucks. need more help just pm me.
