Go to http://www.geocities.com/zeener96/toyota.htm It's an article with pictures of an installation. Don't know if it's still there or not. I downloaded and printed it out in April of 2004. I do have a hard copy, if need be, I might be able to get it to you. Also back when we were MSN, there is some references and pictures of this subject, but you would have to search them out. Here is another; http://www.classictruckshop.com/psf100.htm I also have this one printed out.

79 to early 84 Toyota 4x4 pickup

Can be power or manual. And unless you buy a kit, you'll have to make a pitman arm.

I don't have any pics of everything installed but here are all the pieces

I also cut the column mount down and moved everthing up apprx. 2 inches to get the steering wheel off my legs I hope.. Right....Fogot to mention, this is goingin my 64 which I believe is the same as your Uni.

Is that CPP's column saver you are using there?

loosrp · Post by **loosrp** » September 7, 2009, 1:15 pm

Nope... Loosrp's father made!! CPP don't make one in the right inside diameter for a 64. Got the idea from them

lets just say I tried a manual gear box once like they think they know what they are talking about turn the truck right back took it off,, do not know where they got there info but the only box we suggest is 84-86 Toyota 4x4 power steering box only and been saying that box to be used for many years

Can Loosrp's father make anymore of them there dealios for a price?

I know CPP's is 2" diam. and our column is 2.125". I'm right smack in the middle of working on this issue with the rack & pinion install in my '64.

Here's where I'm at now...

I'm running into a clearance problem with the tie rod nut on the passenger side of the pitman arm. I may need to modify the pitman arm. The tie rod nut hits the leaf spring.

Could convert to a rod end and countersink the bolt into the pitman arm. Still pondering.

Max, sorry but Dad actually just retired last month.

Twinturbo, I put a kink in the pitman arm for that very reason, to kick it out a bit.
I don't know if you have lowered yours or not but putting a couple bends in yours would make it shorter and you could eliminate some bump steer that way.
Did you make your drag link or buy it somewhere, stock ones are flimsy I have 2 and both are bent.

twinturbo61uni · Post by **twinturbo61uni** » September 7, 2009, 8:19 pm

Thanks loosrp. I lowered the front so shortening the pitman by bending it may work. Did you just heat and bend?

I bought the tie rod from CPP...nice product. Thinking about a Speedway Motors drag link.

Thanks again for the info

loosrp · Post by **loosrp** » September 7, 2009, 8:53 pm

Yes heat and bend, but if yours is cast stick it in some sand and allow it to cool slowly so it don't become brittle.
