let's see
220 for the box (motor craft)
25 for the high pressure hose
150 for the tie rods
8 bucks for fluid (guess)

so about 400 bucks i guess

wasn't bad. i didn't do the ends, i did the inners. it was a bit of a pain getting the pitman arm off the steering box, but the rest was pretty straight forward. Need to get an alignment yet. if you need any advice ask. Make sure you can get your high and low pressure lines etc while you're at it, because if they're rusty they might break when you drop your old box. good luck.

about 90% done unless i decide to do something on the plate (drawing of some sort) plate needs to be polished still, it has no shine to it at all.

Installed a 4" MAF adapter and a K&N cone filter. Then ordered flex pipe and V-Band flanges for the header flange/ Y pipe.

Removed my headache rack and replaced it with my other tool box.
Also removed my "cut" bumper and installed my chrome bumper.
