Howdy:
I have a '67 SWB with pwr steering,apparently from a '68. There where two types of pwr steering in 67-68; one had a "linkage type" where the power was supplied by a hydraulic ram attached in the steering linkage, the second (perferrable) type was the integrated pwr steering gearbox most of us are familiar with, where the hydraulic hoses attach to the steering box.
You would need the 68 pwr steering box, 67-68 pump , pump backets for you V8 small block model ( I-6 and BBlock differ), and the correct pitman arm.
Use an interchange manual! Later model stuff only LOOKS about the same.
Good luck, and happy part hunting.
