Re: Help! need steering box for '67 C10
Thanks, Franken. I didn't think that PS was available for '67 C10s, but being a newbie, I didn't know if I should stop wasting my time trying to find a '67 gear box, or go for a '68 or newer. Come to think of it, the existing box must not be a '67, since if PS wasn't available for that year, the box must have come from a '68 or newer truck, and if this was the case, the modification to attach the box to the frame won't be apparent until the existing box is removed.
While we are on the subject, does anyone have an opinion on whether or not a quick-ration box should be considered? Seems that the original steering wheel diameter was large because power steering was not an option, and it was easier to turn the truck with a larger steering wheel than with a smaller one. Frankly, I feel that a quick-ratio box would work well, especially if a smaller steering wheel were used. Does this make sense?
