Converting to steerable tailwheel - what's involved?

Hi, our T-6D came with a good steerable tailwheel unit which we'd like to use in its rebuild. Does anyone have the details of what's involved in converting the rear fuselage to accept a steerable unit?

Many thanks

There is an USAF NAA tech order to follow to install.
Also the T-6G blueprint so install as well.

Thanks Rich, sounds like that's exactly what we need. Do you know the details of that technical order or from where one can be obtained?

Thanks
