I have a 65 442 with power steering, power brakes and a 4 speed. I'm thinking about doing a disc brake conversion and putting in a tighter ratio steering box. Any suggestions on what to use and what to watch out for? A kit for the disc brakes is probably preferred if one works for this year. The front suspension is stock with 12,000 miles on it but it was done 25 years ago. Thanks

Welcome yes pics are a must !!
X2 on the jeep box conversion I have read about it but have not done it my self .

I bought a disk conversion from a eBay store but was a (right stuff detailing ) kit it was 644.00 to my door with upgraded slotted and braided powder coated calipers and a 9" power booster . I have not installed yet

 

Welcome to CO! I have done the cherokee steering box in my 71, made a nice difference.

 

Thanks for you suggestions, I'll look into these further.
