Power steering for a CJ5

Re: Power steering for a CJ5
Biggest concerns:
1) bracket and mounting for the pump to the motor
2) gear box should be easy swap, but make sure pump fitting matches box
(pump fitting can be changed)
3) finding proper hoses
Note: define "easy to swap" = bolts come out of frame without weld-nuts
breaking off, and proper tool available to get pitman arm off.
Start at the bone yard.
I did it on my CJ-7.... best modification done yet!
