I am able to get my hands on a 1973 Scout p/s box for free if I want. It faces forward which is opposite the Bronco. What do I need to complete the swap?

Re: P/S Box?
Not sure what you would have to do to do a Swap, but I have two buddies that used that same box with the pitman facing forward on a 6" push of there front axle. Leaves the pitman arm a little vulnerable.Marc D.

Re: P/S Box?
I agree with Marc, unless you have moved your front axle froward a bunch, a scout box is really not the ideal option.Mark Harris

Re: P/S Box?
I run a scout box with swapped internals to allow for a rearward facing Pitman arm. You need the guts from EB box or astro minivan to reverse the direction. Same concept as the 4x4x2 box using different parts. West Texas Offroad built mine to replace my EB box that they damaged during machining. If you contact them they should have all the parts you need for the swap.
The scout box is a good solid box, but I would lean towards a 4x4x2 box just because the cases and parts are more readily available.
If the scout box is free, I would snatch it up because they have decent market value.Last edited by highlander; 11-05-2010, 09:59 AM.69, 342 EFI, C4, NP203, D20, 4.5" SL, 2" BL, 4.88 9" 35 spline ARB, 4.88 HP D44, WAH, ARB, CTM's, front disc , 37 x 14.50 Toyo MT, Ram Assist, and rear 4-linkComment

Re: P/S Box?
The scout box might not be useful to you, but the scout pitman would be. It's dramatically shorter than a bronco arm which allows you ps box to apply more of it's power.72' in pieces and piles of awesomenessComment

Re: P/S Box?
On this track, the 92 4X4 dodge also has a 1 inch shorter pitman arm that works on the ford box. I still need to put that on mine.Originally posted by TRAILBOUND View PostMarc D.

Re: P/S Box?
I have 78 bronco box stock with forward arm on both of my broncos. One has axle foward 3-4 inches. The other has axle forward 12 inches. Sweet box in stock form. I've got a 4x4x2 box potted by west Texas off road I'm trying to get rid of. I have the ram too. Don't need it.69 bronco, 72 bronco, 66 vert stangComment
