Thanks. I was going to work on it today but the wind out here was just way too strong.

I think I have the steering box bracket where it's going to clear now. However, I'm not going to use the block adapter that came in the kit I ordered. The one in the kit comes straight out and Summit carries a low profile one that exits at 90 degrees. It's also only 1 3/8 tall and I have 2 inches of clearance now at the closest area. As you can see in the before and after pictures I moved the bracket about an inch inside the frame. I still need to weld the bottom though.

You're a really good welder Ron. I want a gas setup.

Thanks, but I'm only an okay welder.

Here's the relocation kit I bought from Summit.



But this is the block adapter that I'm going to use instead.

I finished welding up the underside. I hate welding upside down! I also took a look at the gas tanks because mine doesn't have the pressure sensor on it and Eric's is rusted to shit and I was going to just cut the mount for the sensor out and weld it to mine. However, while I was cleaning them out I discovered that his tank has a built in sump to help keep the fuel at the fuel pump. Mine doesn't have this but instead uses a plastic sump that is part of the fuel pump. I don't want to use mine with the V8 pump because it could starve the engine of fuel on the steep angles I put this truck in. So I've decided that I'm just going to buy another tank that has the sensor.

Here's pictures of the completed steering box. Part of the reason the welds look like shit is because I added plate between the frame and the mount to fill a gap near the front. The two beads v together and make it look terrible. I should have cleaned it up but I realy don't care what it looks like on the bottom.

Welding upside down is fun, nothing like catching your goatee on fire.

Welding a gas tank is no fun. I did one that was so thin, it looked like I closed up the hole, but the water managed to find little air bubbles to sneak out of. So I chased the air bubbles, and one spool worth of chasing and a mound of steel later I gave up and got a new tank.

I'm actually just going to use Eric's tank for right now. Only because a new tank is almost $300 and the new fuel pump is $200. I have to buy the fuel pump but I'm going to hold off on getting a new tank for a little while.

Why so much for the fuel pump?
