Grafting frame for power steering box
The front xmember on my truck has been pancaked 1.5" and relocated about 1.25" forward.
I've been reading a bunch about people that have done the same and converted to power steering, relocating the box up and forward to match the xmember changes. Namely rickoner's thread here; http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...9&postcount=40 Just to take a look at where my power steering box would need to be, I whipped up this template to see what it'd look like in the new position; I still have the donor frame, and was wondering if anyone's grafted in the steering box section, up and forward of the stock non-ps position. I've been able to find some people that have patched in the ps frame into the non-ps frame, but was wondering about those laying frame. thanks |

Re: Grafting frame for power steering box
welp, since I didn't get any replies, and can't really find any other posts on this, I figured, I might as well bite the bullet and just go for it. Cut a section of the donor frame this weekend and placed it up on the '63 to see what it looked like. Trying to get ideas where I need to section the donor for some seamless transitions and fish plates. Right now, it looks like my biggest hang up is going to be the radiator cross member rivet locations.
