power steering conversion begun

[1969cruzer]

i have the plate and am researching the gear box. i have read a 68 impala box works, but i need a 36 spline input shaft box. is the impala box a 36 spline? if not what other box has the 36 spline input shaft?

Where should i buy it from? what is a reasonable price on it?

thanks in advance,

Spence

i would also like a gear box that has the most turns from lock to lock. i dont need the cruiser to be squirrley on the highway.

thanks

It was posted here some time ago, it has very good information.

I picked mine up at at salvage yard for $18. Runs good still.

Both of my 68 Impala boxes are 4.25 turn boxes and are 36 spline.

Why do you care about 36 spline?

Got a '68 Impala box on ebay and it is 36 spline and 4.25 turns. Doesn't matter what the spline count is so long as you get a joint or steering shaft to match. I used a Downey shaft. Nice quality, a little pricey, but none of 'em are cheap.
