They are still attached. The red X's are the original attachments. Notice there are the same number of pics as there are red X's. Back in '08 I uploaded the pics to Pirate instead of links to another site that has long since been dead and burried.

This post is old as the hills but very helpful to rebuild and tap out a scout box but it would be nice a few more pics and/or links to more taped out scout II boxes

funny this thread gets bumped up now as I was just going to do so myself.


Just got a scout2 box back from PSC rebuilt/tapped. Found the places they drilled the ports interesting.









One port is clearly drilled and tapped into the large flat surface on the inside of the box but the other seems to have a nipple welded/glued/somethinged to the case.

Thought it might be a good option for someone who needs their lines on the inside of the frame.


Ive had really good luck with the rebuild kits from www.rockauto.com. Its very complete except for missing one of the steering shaft bearings (chevy box's only have one which is what the generic kit is for) but it looks like they have it so you can buy just one of those now.


also a very good step by step rebuild how to here.

That is the rebuild thread I used when I did mine a couple years back.

Don't mix the balls up!

Good advise even when not rebuilding a steering box...

I did this.


And had no troubles with the powercraft kit from AZ, except for the missing bearing. Looking back I think a guy would be fine not removing the ball screw from the piston. You don't replace anything in there anyway and this would keep the devil balls in place. It's been awhile but I remember them being a pita to keep in.

And our local carquest has all the p.s. line adapters you could ever need. AN is just a lower pressure version of JIC, you can interchange knowing that the AN pressure limit is the one you have to respect.

I like your location for the ram assist ports better than any i have seen on the web. can you give me any details on exactly where you put them or what they tied into. i have my box all apart and will tap them as soon as you can give me some feedback. The look close to the OEM ports for pump, do they interfere in any way. How deep did you drill each port.
