Your right ,I saw the photo where the steel going under the core support looked shiny, and didn't look closey. With these new photos I can see the rail clearly and they are stock. From what I can see you have the front end setup like mine. It looks like you have the tube control arms with the plate goes under the frame rails and bolts on . You'll like the way the car drives with this set up.I used the Borgeson power steering box. I used a Saginaw pump. I'm not pleased with the pump. It makes a sound if you turn the steering wheel.New pump so not sure if normal or need another pump.
