Steering box frame reinforcement weld in plates
I'll take some .. Got to warn you, I'm not fond of laying on my back and doing overhead welds .. Even suited up still get burns on my body .. :shocked: (When that happens there's a few words that inadvertently are said that would make a Preacher blush) There's about 8 welds on the top...- dragstews

Steering box frame reinforcement weld in plates
The plates fit really well on my 75 K15 frame .. Clamps was used and very little hammer action was needed .. Being only 1/8" thick they pretty much form fitted themselfs ..- dragstews

Soon to have the box back on the frame rail .. Since the frame didn't have any cracks to start off with and the install of the weld-in plates, plus the bolt-in brace should be ready for some 44's ... (Think I'll keep the 33's on the truck) ..- dragstews

Installing cruise control .. Just about done with the steering box .. Waiting for the u-joint...- dragstews

Steering box frame reinforcement weld in plates
Cool Beans .. Will be doing some more research on this brace for sure .. Like to be able to put it to use, if it will install without doing major work it'll find a home on the truck .. Much thanks for the info, Guys .. You Boys rock !! _________________________________ Ok, alright you'll...- dragstews

Steering box frame reinforcement weld in plates
Did give this some thought ... Very well made and easy to install but ... On the 75 K15 the brake-proportion valve is mounted right in the way of where the brace bolts on .. Pretty much decided not to use it due to the need to relocate the valve .. (Guess I'm going to limit the truck to...- dragstews

Steering box frame reinforcement weld in plates
My frame was in good shape, went ahead and bought the plates just to keep it that way .. Guess it's overkill, but is a good place to add some beef ... 73-91 Chevy/GMC trucks was bad about cracking in this area .. (Most likely from rough usage)- dragstews

Identifying GM Transfer Cases: Show us in pictures what you have with measurments and Adapters.
I went though it with replacing the bearings, chain and converting to part time using a Mile Marker SS output shaft not long ago .. The truck doesn't see very much 4x4 usage these days .. Mostly only street use ... About the spacer that I was going to use on the 4L80 to the og K15...- dragstews
