Today I am modifying the steering on my twin traction beam (TTB) ford. I want to avoid getting any bump steer and so I performed a tie rod flip (TRO), I installed a drop pitman arm, I made custom tie rod connectors, and I installed a Ford Bronco steering box that goes on the outside of the frame. This 4 wheel drive twin I beam suspension is really coming along!

Now get out there and build something!
