    Thats what I am looking for to complete my steering setup. A YJ or TJ box would be perfect.

    I have an XJ box on mine, and it works well.

    I took Tim's advise and got an S-10 box. Three tabs and it bolts right up. If it's a manual/power steering swap.

    I run a YJ box, power steering pump and hoses on my 74. Bolt in for the box, but I have a V8 so I had to make pump mounts.

    The S-10 box is popular with Wagoneer owners - they use the 4WD box because it has more turns than the 2WD box (slower, higher ratio). The 4WD boxes seem easy to find, with low miles. Plus the modern Saginaw boxes are said to be more wear resistant, so they are generally tight without needing adjustment.

    I got mine from a 99XJ on ebay. I also picked up the shaft too. All told it was like $40 bucks.

    I got the tilt column and shaft for $80 from a CJ.

    The XJ does bolt right up and has the three holes. An added bonus is that the pitman arm is already a drop, so no messing with putting a new one on.
