Has anyone pieced this kit together in awhile? I am very interested in doing this to my truck. 1993 W250. Thanks!

Oliver Foster did his not too long ago.



What is it you're looking for ? Pitman arm is the most difficult part to locate, and depending on what part of the country you live in, it may not be anywhere where you live.

I did do this swap on my white crew cab last summer.
I had all the parts here, but sent the steering gear off to Redhead for a rebuild before I started the swap.

I did the reverse rotation steering gear swap on my '93 W250 this summer. It drives so much better now even though the original steering was pretty tight. I sent my box to Blue Top Steering Gears for a rebuild.

I am actually in Alberta, Canada. Any idea where I should start looking? I am ok with paying shipping. Could possibly drive down as well.

From what I have read this seems to be the only way to go aside from crossover steering.

I currently have the dodge connection brace, a redhead gear box and borgeson steering shaft. I have also had to repair my gear box bracket (did not brake but was cracked). I run stock tires and no lift, I am building an overlanding/expedition vehicle.

Can I use any part the borgeson shaft with the reverse steering set up?

Hey there gcam... I'd be interested in where you source your parts as I'm in AB as welll ... what part do you live in ?

Jacked the front end of my 92 W250 up yesterday and started looking over the front end stuff ... definitely have to address just about everything!!!

Did you notice any cracks in your steering box bracket or did you have to remove the gear box?

You can get a pretty good look at the front and bottom bolt holes of the bracket, the upper one is a bit tougher. Mine cracked in the bottom and front and it was easy to see. The top one was not cracked...Mark

Am I able to get all the parts (pitman arm, draglink, gearbox mount) from the same truck? Example, 1974-77 Ramcharger?

Yes

And what about the steering shaft? Can my Borgerson one be used or do I need a different one?

oliver foster

The RR boxes came with two steering shaft input sizes and splines IIRC.
It is likely you will need to buy / make a new end [box side] or get a new steering shaft and sell your old one.

GCam

Buying a new one, is this set up something someone at Borgerson would know about? Or is there a different manufacturer I should be contacting?

oliver foster

I got my from Borgenson as well, but buy the RR box FIRST as there are two different styles spline sizes and counts. 3/4 and 13/16 IIRC.
Then call them with the count and size and they will hook you up.

I put a reverse rotation steering set up in the classified section on this site.

IIRC one shaft is 3/4" Dia. the Borgson might work on this one.
Most common is 13/16 Dia.
