I have done the P/S installation on my 68. Well worth the time and effort. I indented the frame and used an old piece of a 4x4 frame for the pattern to drill the mounting holes. Then shimed out, to get it just right. If you do not dent the frame the box input shaft will NOT align correctly with the steering wheel shaft. Some people say this is OK, but I think it puts too much stress on the components. Others say the indention reduces the frame strenght, but I believe all the frames were dented from 69-72. You can add a GM frame brace if you are running large tires. I also have the NAPA part numbers for the drag link.
