I am thinking about cutting the steering box mount above that bolt hole so I can weld a new nut in, then weld the metal back on to put it back the way it was. Hoping it will be strong enough.




That is what I would do...
Pick up another square nut at the hardware store. Don't get one that has a zinc coating applied as that will lead to more problems. Cut a section out of the top of the K frame big enough to work through. Before you weld the the piece you cut out back in mock up the steering box. Tighten everything down and weld the nut in place. Then weld the plate back in and grind. It would be undetectable if welded and ground correctly.


...FAFO...
