so you need to remove floor and seat box? hope not its all just been put back in doh! the truck is my father in laws and i just paid a mate to put a new box in and we asked him to do the steering box aswell but the one we supplied was a s2a box but hes saying its not the same so thinks we need a s3 gearbox its just a pain as its just had the box in and its been mot'ed and insured and we cant use it

Leaks an prone to bits dropping off

sorry im on about gear box ,2a and 3 steering boxes have different shafts which have 1 of box bearing surfaces machined on shaft ,whereas the rest is the same it means you cant fit old series shaft and column to new or recon series 3 box ,anything but series 3 is old stock dealers only and pricey ,as said shaft needs changing as nearly allways has worn bearing surface ,i have cut and welded different shafts to make an early box out of later ,hardest part of removal is drop arm on box
