Steering Box mounting plate

If sound and after market manufacturer of a very beefy high quality engineered steering Box bracket www. autofab.com I put one on about 3 days ago and the steering has never felt so solid !!! One of the best $225 purchases I have ever made for my 1992 Dodge W250
Installation if your using the original boats the holes in the bracket have been drilled at half inch, the bolts need to be 9/16 the bottom bolt at the bottom of the ear where the bolt is driven in to a collar requires a 19/32 hole.

Yesterday I was just on the phone with a supplier/manufacturer who I'm sending my rewelded off truck plate to, who is going to make a prototype out of billet.

Thanks to all you three for posting in links and announcing this find. This is a very welcome product, indeed.

Wow; this is a great find indeed. Thank you! At one time Mopar had more than 3000 of these plates in stock before suddenly deciding to scrap them all:

Making older trucks unrepairable is not a great way to build customer loyalty...

Thanks again for posting this information. "Necessity is the mother of invention."
