A few more details would help, why do you want to change?, what are you trying to accomplish?

Faster ratio, better feel (firmer feedback). I remember reading that the box from the cars you mentioned will bolt up though one has an extra bolt hole (either the older truck box or the newer, I forget). Also you will need metric adapter fitings for the PS lines. Im sure there are articles out there on the internet. Even if the box is going in an old camaro or chevelle I believe the same stuff still applies. Mike |

less slop
There is alot of slop in the steering, you can turn the wheel quite a bit before the tires move, and just for all over drivebility, i think it would make a big difference. Would it not?

73-87 truck boxes will work, most are 1 turn less lock to lock (3 1/2 vs 4 1/2). Just swap the fitting on the back of the box, if it uses metric style, and you can use your same hoses.
