Bolts for steering box

I have a 67 I just bought. Someone had removed the steering box. I have a power steering box I am going to put back on the truck. Can any one tell me the correct bolt size I need? Thanks!

If you put the power steering box in it you will either have to modify the frame or space the steering box out. The '67's don't have the divot in the frame to clear the power steering box. Don't let that deter you from installing it, it's a great upgrade. Use 7/16" grade 8 bolts, nuts, washers, & lock washers.

Thanks for the info. I had no clue the 67 frame would have to be modified. Hope its not too big of a deal.....
