Well Keith, at the last count, 24 of us don't know!

My guess is that it would as Chrysler didn't change things like steering boxes unless they had to!

Thanks Ivor i kinda guessed that but as so as the bother in law has his box off exsposed

im going to take some measurements off of the mountings and spline side of things and as long as it mounts in those two positions on it goes

all i can say is not what i said when i saw it on the ramps because that was scary once its apart ill post a picture and if it does fit ill post on here for future reference.

They all bolt on the same. It is the output shaft diameter that can be different.

Did some research for you.

There are two types.

Type 1
1960-1964 full size cars
1961-1972 A-Body
1965-1972 B-Body
1970-1972 E-Body

Type 2
1965-1978 C-Body (but not '65-'67 Imperial)
1973-1976 A-Body
1973-1979 B-body
1973-1974 E-Body
Edit. 1970 T/A and AAR and 1971 340 E-bodies also used this one but had "T/A" cast into the side.

The type 2 has the bigger output shaft.

Well got the first one off of a 69 charger and the case size is spot on sadly the pitman arm shaft was the small size but we got it anyway and brought it home to see if you could change the shafts answer is no you cant but at least thats something else learnt, if you had the time trev d could machine it i think but we havent got that luxury beware when you take these buggers apart there is three million needle roller bearings and they all have to go back hence why when i started the first job was to put down an old white sheet.

Told you so.

I just added the "T/A" box to the list above.

Yes thanks for the info Dave i did listen mate but as he was desperate i had to check if you could change the bearing carries ie mopars being mopars they might have just inserted a thicker bearing carrier and reamed the central hole the same diamiter, well they dont so plan B underway anyone
