Re: Steering gear help!
On some boxs, there is an adjustment bolt.
This bolt is locked by a nut.
Loosen the nut, tighten the bolt slightly, tighten nut.
Hope this helps.

Set the external adjuster with the steering centered or else it will bind.

Check linkage before messing with the box. I'd also replace the idler arm bushings with bronze versions if you plan on keeping the truck.

Well i did a carfax on the thing and found out that a car had slammed into the passenger side destroying the steering box the guy tried to fix it himself and failed.... photos soon to come
Re: Steering gear help!
Time for a junkyard trip, get a used box that has not been hit and it may help and will be cheap.
