1961 chevy truck power steering adapter help
 
Does anyone know of a company that makes a power steering gear box adapter kit for a boxed frame.

CPP offers a kit for the 60-62. Don’t lose the information however as their website is completely disorganized and they don’t offer a worthwhile search feature.

http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...ck/6062PSK.htm

Part number 6062PSK – cost = $95.00

Or they have the complete kit for $649.00 part number 6062PSKS

The truth is any of the 60-66 kits will work, but you need to make 1 or two steel spacers for the forward bolt(s) that connect ahead of the factory frame boxing. I used one spacer and it has worked fine for 20 years. Others use a spacer on both forward bolts.

Also, Captainfab is considering making one this fall/winter.

Captainfab on here makes a GREAT power steering adapter, but I do not know if it will work on a boxed frame. He is quite helpful, so you could PM him and ask though!
