stearing box swap

[Cutty454]

I was thinking of changing my power stearing to manual stearing I heard that an s10 box would work i wanted to know if that was true or not and what other boxes can i use :?: :?: :?:

Yes the s10 steering box will work its a direct bolt in.. I know that because I am currently useing the same box in my cutlass wagon..

Any Saginaw manual box from the 60's on up will swap right in. Just be sure to get the correct Pitman arm. The manual and 600 series (snap ring cover) use a small diameter Pitman shaft. The 800 series (4 bolt cover) uses a larger diameter Pitman shaft. The rag joint changed too, but I forget what the year was.

I am using the s10 pitman arm and rag joint they are the same.. My box came out of an 82 s10 with a 4cyl ..

this is cool that no-one chimed in with one of those "why would you wanna do that?!" kinda statements. I also use a mid 80s s10 box w/ s10 pitman arm and rag joint.

Can you still use a s-10 box with the jeep steering shaft? I think I also read something about using a camaro or firebird steering box...I'm not to sure of that though.
