Re: 68 GMC steering
Hey Oz,
Do you by chance have the entire front crossmember from the '87? If so, it's easier to just swap it in so that all the components are '87. I did this on my '70 and other than a couple of holes that need to be opened up, it's a direct swap. Otherwise you need to keep good notes on which components are from what year so in the future you can get replacement parts. If you don't have the whole x-member, then I'm sure someone will chime in with the actual information you asked for
