what year power steering box?

[secretagent]

I'm going to install a sag power steering unit on my 75 fj40 but dont know what year box to get or from what style/model car

Basically you want to get one with as many turns as you can find. Many big 60's cars like impalas used a 4 bolt 4 turn steering box. Being in the northeast, where rust is king I couldn't find one of these. I used a 3.5 turn from an 85 caprice, with a drop pitman arm and mounting plate from downey. Works great for me. I also used their steering shaft and firewall bearing. Nice getting everything from one place, although a little spendy.

I run the sag box from a J-20 pick-up. It is easier to find than the '60s box (in some areas) and has a 3 1/2" piston instead of the standard 3 1/8" found in most sags.

Very good reading for your Saginaw box.
