You will need a Power steer pump. I'm using a ford tear drop pump that you can get from the wreckers dirt cheap. Just make a bracket for it and you will need the power steer lines from a hilux.

You will also need a IFS power steer box from a surf or IFS 4x4 hilux. Grap the Power steer lines and hoses when ya get the box.

Hi,
i had an yn 67 single cab and it had no power steering. When i did it i bought the crossover steering conversion from trailgear. I then bought an IFS steering box, lines and pump from All 4x4 parts. Then sent that straight to Yuri and he reconditioned the pump and box. Also when i bought the crossover setup from Trailgear i also got the reinforcing bracket for the chassis at the same time.
The other thing you will need to do whe going crossover is lengthen your steering shaft a little.
Its not a hard job, took me and my brother inlaw 6 hrs and a carton lol
I will find the photos of me and him doing it and post a link for you.

You can cut the steering shaft and sleeve it, but the DOT won't like it. You can buy an extension for them. If it's just a play toy then sleeve it.
