57 wagon steering help

[Kevinb3373]

Hello, I'm new to the forum, and have a 57 wagon I am restoring, but for the life of me I can't find any pictures or literature on how the steering gear box connects to the tie rods to turn the wheels. Could someone post a pic of their setup. I'm staying stock for now, so if you have stock setup I would appreciate it greatly.

Go to the reference section from the main menu. You'll find info there.

The steering box is connected to the pitman arm, the pitman arm is connected to the drag link, the drag link is connected to bell crank which is attached to the knuckle.

Thanks guys, I'm a visual kinda guy so if I could get pics it would be great. But thanks for the response

The knne bone is connected to the thigh bone......

He must be missing parts if he can't figure it out. It would be obvious otherwise.

Glad I could help. DiggerG is a great guy... he'll help and he has a good stash of parts too. This is one of the more friendly forums you'll find... a few jokes here and there... but all good. Welcome to the forum. - Jim
