I am in the process of setting up the same thing. There is a big write up on West Coast Broncos. I have bought everything and I am assembling the box at this point. All I have to do is adjust the sector shaft. Link below

How much did everything cost you?

I am looking this route or buy a complete set from psc which is sold at poly performance.

i know that psc poison spyder custom is the best and that is what is ran on just about all crawlers, like in mags and that sort of thing.

$79.00 in to Pick your part steering box to do the reverse steer. You will need the adapter it will not bolt on. If I was able to spend the cash on a new box I would but you will still need all the other parts too. It would cost about $1200.00 to do it all new or rebuilt. I feel I got Just as good in the end and saved $600.00
I will take some pictures and post later tonight or tomorrow. Got a rod run to go to and a lot of work to do. Welder comming this weekend too.

Re: f-150 steering box & Hydro Assist.

the 4x4 box is what you want not the 2x4 f100 box. The 4x4 box is the same for 70's F150 and big body broncos

I have a stock EB box rebuilt and ported for hydro steer that I will be selling if you are interested. I have been running it with one tons and 40's for about 2 years. It is in good shape and has no leaks.
