can i get some help with mounting my gearbox? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

wp silverado · 10-19-2010, 05:02 PM

when i got my 64 the steering was completely apart and in a box. i got the centerlink and tie rods setup but im struggling with mounting the box, i think im missing something. the box wont mount flush to the frame horn and i just dont see how this could work. if you could post some pictures or maybee describe this better to me id apreciate it. i can post up pics if you need them.

i believe its a power steering gearbox, also the steering shaft has been lengthened i believe if that helps.let me get a pic or two up

If the power steering was added on by the PO you need adaptor plates. Do a search "power steering" you can find a pic hope this helps

If it is a power steering box you will need an adpater plate to space it out from the frame. This allows for the raised area on the backside of the box.

si all i need is a power steering mounting kit??

here is my truck

and this is my setup on the 67 just as a reference this is what i plan on doing, a ps setup with no pump

thanks again for any help

Yes you will need an adapter plate to mount that power steering box on your '64 frame. If I may ask, why do you want a power steering box if you're not going to connect it to a pump?

I'm wondering that also. PS with no pressure is harder to turn than a manual box.

alright thanks alot when im ready to slap it all on il grab a plate from you captain

as far as keeping this box its just simpler that way the shaft has already been cut for it and i dont want to waste 200 dollars on a new manual box not to mention it doesnt bother me the setup in the 67s not that hard
