e-bay item - power steering
I'm somewhat interested in this item but..
1. Is this the unit for our trucks? 2. He says that it is for '67-'68. I don't recall a different power steering box being used for '69-72. Check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-...rdZ1QQtcZphoto

Re: e-bay item - power steering
Not a 67-68 box. Maybe 69+
67 & 68 used a hydraulic ram for assist, not an integral box like that.

Re: e-bay item - power steering
ya I think only 67 had the ram style that is why there is a stock hump in the frame on 68 on up to clear the ps box

Re: e-bay item - power steering
Hmmmm.....my '68 has the ram style. My understanding is that the ram was discontinued for a ps box in mid-68.

Re: e-bay item - power steering
Yes, early '68 trucks still had the ram type. I was told once that all '68 396 trucks had the ram type, too.

Re: e-bay item - power steering
This is the one I have listed that came out of my 67 C10, what is the difference.

Re: e-bay item - power steering
Nate003,
The ram-type power steering is similar to that used on Corvettes up to 82. I don't have access to to Corvette parts books but I suspect that some of the pieces are actually the same. The steering box itself is a regular manual steering box with a different pitman arm. Bob
