I'm not 100 percent sure, but you could check with redhead about changing yours to reverse rotation........ Just a thought.

I believe all the parts are different. Steering box, bracket, pitman arm and drag link. Even the steering shaft [or at least the joint] needs too be addressed depending on which RR box you use and the spline count of it.
I would think getting the set up from MrFusion and having the box rebuild would be the way I would do the swap. |

'72-'76 Powerwagon [W-100 through W-300s] and Ramchargers where the only vehicles I know of that had that RR box set up.

That would be it. Other than those parts I bought new lines and installed a stock Dodge V-10 power steering cooler in my return line that I had been saving for that project. I also bought a new Borgeson steering shaft.

The hose ends will be different but an easy fix. the RR box is inverted flare and the dodge pump is O-ring. If you use a 1960s-1970s (GM are easiest to find) flow control valve the in the back of the pump both will be. inverted flare.I think the stock 72hose will work and the return is easy. It is when you have a hydroboost that gets a little more complicated.

Thanks for the info Mark. I was just laying in my Jacuzzi tub down here in Mexico and I think that the hot water stimulated blood flow to my crusty old brain. I had an epiphany, there are many old wrecking yards down here with many old Dodges. I even bought the hood ornament off of an old Ram Charger, that was surrounded by other Ram Chargers. Soooooo, I think that I'ma gonna' go junkin' [guitar][guitar]. I have to turn my VW in, on April 1st so I have some time to track some down. Heck, If I find enough of them, I may make these not so rare. Mark, I have a high quality brake line flaring kit, do you think that an o-ring setup could just be double flared? Thanks a million guys :rock:...Mark

Are you thinking just cutting and double flaring the steering gear end of the hose?

That's what I did in my '74 W200 conversion. No leaks yet.

That sounds like a win-win.
