manual steering box to power..column coupling change??
I just got around to installing the power steering box on my '72 pickup. It had a manual steering box. I purchased the power box though this site. It appears the box spline shaft that goes in the coupling for the steering column is just slightly larger in this powersteering box and now I can't get the column back together. It appears I need a larger splined coupling (the coupling is the clamp type piece with the rubber isolater). DOES ANYONE HAVE A NEW COUPLING THEY CAN SPARE? It should be off a power steering box I'm assuming. Many thanks, Kurt in IL

Kurt not sure if we have a extra or not, I will have one of the guys look once they get here or I'll check and post here if we do. Just a heads up but did you get the pitman arm also? The pitman arm that connects the steering gearbox to the control arm differs from power steering to non-power steering also.

Yes Paul, fortunatly the box had the pitman arm on it. Everything good there. If you have something on the "coupling flap" please let me know. Thanks, Kurt
