Anyone else who has swapped a D60 notice they dont even come close to the steering stops now? Or do all you guys with a 60s run 44s or cross over and cant turn your wheel that far anyways? I know it is not just me because I have a couple friends who have experianced the same thing. I guess the steering gear boxes for the D60 trucks had more throw or something. Anyone know how they compare to a 2wd steering box since ill be going crossover soon?

Just another reason the stock steering SUCKS...:mad: Switch to the 2WD box and do cross over you won't regret it. If you need any help in that department.....contact me.....:D

I used a 79 camaro box and the longest pitman arm that I could find, and it turns quite well.

My buddy has a 60 with full hydro stearring and it works great. Just another thought.

The problem lies with stock style steering with a lift, the steering sucks do a cross over that problem will go away as long at it is set up properly.

Since my 60 is on a blazer she stills turns pretty good but buddy has one under a 74 crew cab long bed which turns about as good as a 53' trator trailer.
