I currently looking for information on donor cars. I have a 69 chevelle with power steering, I looking to convert to manual. I know you can do a direct swap for any 68 to 72 chevelles. I looking for any other olds, pontiac or other chevy car i can use (information on the box and the pitman arm would be helpful). The junkyard I goto has a lot of older cars but no chevelles. I know I need a steering coupler, box and pitman arm. Any reference or conversion information would be help. Thanks

Monte Carlo, Cutlass, LeMans, Skylark, the B bodies should be the same as well like the Caprice, Impala, Eighty-Eight, Ninety Eight, LeSabre, Bonneville/Grand Prix. Also, have you checked ebay? They turn up there from time to time.

all A body manual steering setups will work, as well as some S10s

There is a guy in a different post (67Sleeper) who wants to convert to power steering, you two should hook up.
