I tried putting a '69 P/S gearbox on my late '67 Sub, it was a nightmare. The gearbox kept breaking loose and busting grade-8 1/2" bolts, it shifted the drivers side spring perch, but worst of all it changed from a tight-turner to the Queen Mary. It took 4 lanes to make a 180* turn. If you can get the ram-style slave actuators, fine. Corvette parts is where to look, but other wise stay away from shadetree P/S conversions on a '67 4x4. BTDT. Had to pay to get it back to manual, and it was still never right.
