hey, i've got a 94 yota pickup with a SFBD. The steering is currently not working. I'm trying to figure out what kind of steering knuckle alternative I have aside from stock. Is it possible I could make a fullsize Tahoe ('95) knuckles work as I already have some around.
What other options could I look into?? Thanks!

What about the steering is not working?

well, i got this truck in like a 50% finished condition. I haven't actually put it on the lift and taken the wheels off to know exactly what is wrong. I just know that I was told I needed to get new knuckles for the front. I can spin the steering wheel with no effect. I can move each wheel independently of each other. need pictures??

So'll this weekend or sometime this week i'll get some pictures and maybe some more insight.thanks

So, i got some pictures and i will get them uploaded this afternoon....the knuckles LOOK alright. New tierods are in order but the main issue I'm seeing is the Steering shaft is completely hacked off. Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to use stock steering assembly here. I've checked out flaming rivers stuff in relation to this but what other options might i have?and ill def. get some pictures up tonight though
