i have a 70 and want to swap from power to manual.. what gear boxes will swap out.. are there any problems i might run into.. or is it just as simple as pulling the power stearing box and adding the manual?


sorry if this topic has been covered a million times.. all i could find was people going the other way.. lol

The manual steering boxes are the same for: 66-70 A-bodies, 67-69 F-bodies and 68-72 X-bodies. When you swap the boxes you need the pitman arm and rag joint form the manual box. A very easy swap. I completed this on both my Chevelle and El Camino.

Good Luck :D
