Hey Guys,

I am new to the bronco scene and am porno deep into a 72 getting it fixed up right. My question for you is.....

Is there a Power steering box and column that would fit the same way as a stock one would? The person i bought mine from fab'd up what it looks to be a new PS box to the old column and it snapped on me yesterday when taking it to the shop to get the floor pans welded in.

I looked into an IDidIt steering column but would like to do this set up where it does not cost me 2k. Does anyone have any advice on what other vehicles have the same PS box and column as the EB?

I am running a 302 with 3 on the floor.

Thanks for any help/advice you can offer.

A lot of guys like the 4x4x2 setup. I am in the process of setting it up now. The box build is fairly easy, I also built a collapsible shaft and saved $100 doing it myself. I used a grinder to grind a “”DD” in the stock steering column. It took time a patience but turned out well. Read up on the forum there is a ton of info here

Sorry if this is pointing out the obvious, but you can get a stock PS box out of 73 - 77 EB and it will bolt right in.

No other vehicle has the same stock PS box as the Bronco. Likely the same on the column as well, but not 100% sure of that.

The column doesn't need to be from a bronco that came with power steering. You can get a good used manual EB column for $100 fairly easily.
