Jim,
Long time no hear from... Carl Ham did a terrific write up on his
adventures with installing the power steering mod that put the box on the
outside of the frame rail. It is posted on my server at
http://www.chevytrucks.org/tech/TF_powersteering.htm
Claude Ramey has had this mod for a while and has it up on his site as well
