power steering

Just do a quick search and you will find this has been discussed in depth several times. A quick condensed version: There are 2 different steering boxes. The most plentiful one will require a shorter steering column or shaft and the bracket that holds the column to the firewall. And of course the pump, hoses and correct brackets. Ihave always found the crank pulley unused but if you have a 2 belt alternator you may have to eliminate one. You should find your steering column from the same year. While others may work some years are alone in length and I think 70 is one. In general the 67-72 are similiar. The steering box can come from a 65 to 79 I think and if you are lucky enough to find the early Bendix box you shouldn't have the steering column issue I'm told.
