1967 c10 steering box
My frame doesn't have the dimple on it. Has anyone found a steering box that will work? Thanks

Re: 1967 c10 steering box
I recently installed power steering on my 67 with a non-dimpled frame. I rolled the dice and purchased a CPP steering gear that did not require any frame modification. It has somewhat mixed reviews but I crossed my fingers and dove in.
Been about 2 months and 300-400 miles so far. Had to learn how to drive the truck all over again as it cut at least one full turn off the steering lock to lock and makes the truck more enjoyable to drive. |

It's been a long time, we marked the area with a scroll, heated it red hot hot and hit with a ball pin hammer to make the dimple used a stock 72 power steering box from a parts truck, along with the spindles, upper and lower a-frames, center link to convert to front disk brakes and power.

As NGN said, heat the spot and give It a bang, worked beautiful!

Re: 1967 c10 steering box
I did the heat and beat method on my Burban when I replaced the steering box. The PO just bolted the old one on the frame and as a result the box wasn't centered properly and the truck had a larger turning circle in one direction over the other.
Here is a link to how I did mine. Scroll to post 838 to start. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ng+box&page=34 |

[On restoration, the cure may be to bolt on a 1971 MY- or later Dana 44 Front End with P/S and Disc Brakes.] *White Fang is a '67 K/10 Suburban [454/TH350/NP205/3.73 Posi] rig that I ran hard from 1993 to 1998, when I had a carb fire on location out-of-state. Foolishly I made a claim on my auto insurance. They low-balled me, and Totalled it, issuing a Salvage Title. Now it's a back lot ghost. ''Someday'' I will restore it. Perhaps if I ever retire. But I won't be rebuilding a gas guzzling BBC 454. |
