    I need an 84-88 2wd manual steering box. I was not aware that they changed the bolt pattern on the 89-95 trucks and mine won't fit my 87 frame. Need one ASAP, can't find them in the yards or dismantlers out here.

    Also need 4 UCA bolts, that attach the cross shaft to the frame. I have 3 Toyota clips, and none of them have these damn bolts.

    If you pull one I will pay you for it, shipping and your time.

    Cross shaft is the piece that connects the control arm to the frame.

    sorry i didn't reply my computer crapped out right after i posted last night, i will go to the junkyard tomorrow it is 50 percent off so i think it will only be less than 15 bucks. i had a blonde moment when you put uca bolts, i should have realized what you meant, i replaced the factory ones with stainless ones i bought from home depot. they use a 10 mm allen to tighten and look pretty neat. they cost about 3 bucks a piece

    I might have to check those out. I couldn't find the right pitch at ACE.

    now that i think about it when i installed the bag mounts i changed the nut that holds the uppers to 1/2 inch instead of metric. i think i still have the original bolts in a box i'll look for them.
