I have a 60 series power steer setup for my 40. i have read most stories on this and was wondering when moving the shock tower do you just drill new holes & bolt it back where you want or does it get welded? Does a 75 draglink bolt straight in & do 60 tie rod ends fit the 40 rod? Would a ford power steer pump work properly with the 60 steer box? This would save a problem with brackets as I have a 302 windsor motor. Any info is greatly appreciated. THANKS

you need 75 series arms, tie rod and drag link. because 60 series have bigger tie rod ends than 40s.

the 75 series has the same size tie rod ends as the 60, and is the same width as the 40 series housing. (60s are wider axles so their tie rods cant be used)
