Nice shot of the positioning on the PS box, on my to do list...appreciate if you also detail the shaft combo to mate it to the column

There is some wiggle room for the box. Could have been a little farther forward and/or a little higher on the frame. There is a pic a few posts back that shows the intermediate shaft. Looks like Ill have to take a few inches out of the 60 series shaft Im using. The early 60's use a shaft similar to the 55 with replaceable u-joints. Later ones are non replaceable and smaller.

Where is the shock tower in the P/S Picture ? Is it back or removed ?

Shock tower is part of the original PS mount in a 55. Ill be using a passenger side 55 mount on the drivers side OR I will use 70 series shock mounts welded to the frame on both sides. Either way I will use modified 60 series spring plates on the front springs for the lower shock mounts.
