    Has anyone adapted rack and pinion to a 81 Toyota. Power or not. If so what did you use.

    Slacker has it on his 88 x cab but he cheated and used the whole supra subframe.

    whole subframe eh? pretty cool. link if possible. my buddy with a hardbody nissan said people bolt generic mustang 2 front end racks on their truck frames. it also opens the door for new aftermarket inners and outers. i'll be doing this conversion pretty soon...and probably post a thread about it.

    I will hopefully have the truck in the shop to install a 9" Ford rear end.
    Nothing wrong with my steering but just looking anyways.
    Have to look at front discs conversion also can't find rotors at any of the jobbers up here.
