Re: 67 250 power steering conversion help

To get it all set up, I scavenged a box off of a 76 tow truck, but I seem to think that anything will bolt right up until they changed to o-ring fittings in the I think - late 80's?... Just be sure to get the rag joint off of what ever truck you are taking the box from.

Some good reading about steering upgrades here:

BUT our trucks use a different box than the cars & hence we don’t have the advantage of being able to obtain one from say a Camaro or a Monte SS. I had a high ratio box built for me by AGR & it's a sweet piece. 12.7:1 constant ratio with an aprox .250 torsion bar inside. Takes it from farm truck feel to a modern sport-truck feel. Ya, it was spendy, but worth it. I also put a 1 1/4 sway bar on from the same tow truck & that alone made all the difference by itself.
