I'm looking to replace the P/S box in my Land Rover, and it uses a pitman arm that faces forward (oposite chey style). I've heard rumor that the Internationals use a box with a forward facing pitman arm. Is this true? Is it a saginaw box? Does the secor shaft drop to to outside of the frame?
All these are features I'm looking for.
Thanks for the info.

Ford F series Pickups & Vans have a forward facing pitman arm.

here's the best pic I had "handy"

Thats the funniest pic. Fangs and no front driveshaft. At least there is some poser flex.:D

Rusty I redrilled my fangs at about the same height as you did, but left the hole in the same fore/aft plane. Why did you moge your spring backwards?

Because I changed springs from what I designed the mounts to be.

Went front IH pu springs to 44044's. Different off-sets in the springs and wanted different postions.


Dan:

:flipoff2: :flipoff2: that was an "in progress" shot, so they hadn't been trimmed and naturaly no front shaft yet (besides, its on a fork-lift at that :D )

fyi, even the original spring postion on those mounts were HIGHER than stock shackle position..... so whats with the "fangs"





oh, and if I remebr right it out flexed your junk :flipoff2::D
