Message: [QUOTE="Garbage_Mechanic, post: 1474300, member: 1610"] Are the components available to swap a newer steering box into an OBS? The newer you go the better the core supply and the technology improves. Hose fittings are no issue to me. Steering column shaft? But the big one...Pitman arm. If the splines are bigger (good thing) then a newer pitman arm will be needed. Then there is likely a tie rod taper fit issue. Is there a TRE that will fit OBS drag link and newer taper? I'm thinking 05 up or as new as we can get adapted. Since I have been dealing with steering boxes on garbage trucks for 30+ years I'm pretty familiar with steering boxes and the problems that develop. So far my experience with boxes for the 80-97 fords has been less than ideal. There are some parts no matter how thorough you are are not made. So never as good as new, and tech moved on to boot.
