1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
Some one wanted to see the other day that a power steering gear box would fit a 67 without shimming the box out or dimpling the frame. Here is mine

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
Got my attention, do you know if the power steering pumps are any different from 68-72? Trucks looking good by the way.

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
Im just learnin about these trucks....Too me that looks like a 68 and newer frame if I am not mistaken.....because of the raised bosses where the box bolts on.......someone correct me if I am wrong..........but what do I know.....

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
It is a Straight frame there is no dimple. All frames have raised bosses like that. On 68 and newer there is a dimple in the frame where the bulge of the power steering box is.

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
Here are my headers, they hang just below the frame. My truck is dropped 5/7 and they are about 5 inches off of the ground http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-69096/

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
There wasnt any power steering in 67. They had some funky looking power assist system

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
My 67 4wd does NOT have any raised bosses for the bolts, it is completely flat. I will be figuring out how to add it this fall, too hot right now, but I have been working on a 3/8 spacer.

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
Negative. Some early frames are dead flat without raised bosses.

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
I didnt know that. My truck was 3870 off of the line so it was fairly early. I have never seen one that didnt have them

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
not sure this counts but my '67 has the raised bosses. serial is 101626.
does that mean it was number 1,626 off the line? or 101,626?

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
The 4X4 chassis are different than the 2X4 chassis in 1967 and 1968. This is why you see the 4X4s without the raised areas for the steering gears. WES

So, all two wheel drive trucks did have them.

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
jbristo,
I'm in the middle of this upgrade on my 67. My frame has raised bosses, but of course no dimple. I've been going between dimpling the frame and using spacers. Can you tell me exactly what year power steering gear you used? I would like more than anything to be able to bolt it up with no modification. Thanks!

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
Mine has the raised pads but no dimple. The steering box I got from cpp doesn't fit. I would love to know how to do it with out modifying the frame.

Re: 1972 power steering gear box on a 67 with no dimple in the frame
I saw that and was wondering if it would work. Have you installed it and had no issues?
