Brucer, wow those are some great pictures.

I have a power assist that I have had over 20 years sitting on the floor.
The truck I have is a 1967 D200 and now it is a W200 conversion.
My front end is a Dana-Spicer 44 closed knuckle (appears) your picture shows a closed knuckle Dana 60 front end?

The only thing I don't have are all the hoses...mine were all cut off.
Do you know where I could get all the hoses?
Also, why are the links so hard to find...the link between the idler arm coming from the gearbox to the wheel?

You used a Ford link with a sleeve that you had to modify.

All the parts stores show the wrong mounting of the studs and a bend in the link.
Mine is like yours going into the side of the drag link and the other end top going down into the wheel.
Also, I can't remember if the idler arm I used in my conversion is the one from D200 or W200.
Found out there was an idler arm for a 4-6 inch lift kit.
My link is straight and from the middle of one stud to the middle of the other stud is 14 3/4 inches, but I guess they measure them from end to end?

I'd rather put on the power assist and find the hoses than finding that link.

Thanks!~Johns67

PS> Maybe others have a 2 to 4 wheel drive conversion that has power assist steering can help.
