I'm replacing the original steering box with one out of a Jeep Grand Cherokee. This is a fairly common upgrade in the Chevelle world. The Jeep box bolts right in and has the same turning radius as the original. It even uses the stock Chevelle pitman arm. The difference is in the ratio and the valving. Everyone on the Chevelle forums that has done the swap seems to be very satisfied. I guess I'll find out. All I needed to make the conversion was a rag joint out of an 80's chevy truck, and a set of press in adapters for the hose fittings. You can get the rag joint and fittings from Lee Power Steering for about 50-60 bucks. They even include a little tool to press the fittings in with.

Is the jeep a metric "o" ring fitting for the hoses and you're going to use the old style flare fitting? I was looking into those fittings, but I wasn't sure that was correct for what I needed.
