If the 67-68 frame is completely flat, as in my case, do I need just some 1/4" spacers or the bracket. I have a 68 4x4 with the 3 bolt manual gear. Any help would be great.

The '67 & '68 2wd's are the ones that you only need 1/4" spacers. The '67 & '68 4wd's need an adapter plate. I have sold a few of these to guys with '67 and '68 4x4's. Let me know if you would like one.

I have a 67 1/2 ton 4x4 that I would like to put a steering box from a 70 1/2 ton chevy pickup. Will this adapter plate work for the 4x4?

Jim

**Captainfab** · 09-17-2010, 11:45 PM

As far as I know mine will work on your '67 4x4. I have sold a few to guys that wanted them for the '67 & '68 4x4's and I haven't heard of any issues with using them in that application.

Hello Tom

Sorry but no I do not have a website. I do not have time to learn how to do that with working 80 hrs a week every week. This is the only steering box adapter plate that I make.

I just put mine on that I bought a year ago. Great product, nice template and it works great.

Is there anything I can do to get a tighter right turn radius?

I don't feel it is necessary for a 2 wheel drive truck. I've had this same plate on my '66 Suburban since 1993 and put just over 120,000 miles on it with no issues. When I've installed these, I stitch weld the plate to the frame for a little added strength. This isn't absolutely necessary though, since there are four bolts securing it to the frame. The price for this bracket is $50.00 plus $10.00 for insured shipping in the USA. Included is the bracket as shown and four grade 8 bolts and lock washers.

do you still have these

**Captainfab** · 11-11-2010, 11:32 PM

Yes I still have these.......

Quick question;

The Power Steering unit is coming off a 79 4x4 Suburb.
From my searching these forums, it appears it'll work for my 66 with your adapter plate, but I'll need to get a Pitman arm off a 2wd, correct?

Thanks,
Robert

**Captainfab** · 12-28-2010, 11:16 PM

The 4x4 boxes are the same box as the 2wd boxes, but the sector shaft (output shaft) is different. Consequently the 2wd pitman arm will not fit onto a 4x4 box.

I replied to your PM. Let me know what you think.

That stinks! :argh:

I still want your bracket. I originally didn't plan on converting to power steering until spring/summer, but since my 66 pitman arm is shot, I figured I might as well do the upgrade now.

gcwhite · 01-04-2011, 09:46 AM

Can i order 1 of these and a bracket for the pbb too.

**Captainfab** · 01-04-2011, 11:25 PM

Yes you sure can. I'll send you a PM to work out payment details.

wildearp · 02-09-2011, 08:14 PM

I found this forum and thread in Google a while back and finally installed the bracket:

I knew I needed it because only three bolts were holding my steering box on the frame and the spacers were lug nuts. The box was loose, almost falling off, and the frame had a slight crack. The kit mounted the box almost 1.5 inches further back than where it was hacked on. The tie rod is very close to the crossmember, perhaps less than 1/4 inch. That made me second guess my measurements, but it all seems to be OK. Great instructions.

**Captainfab** · 02-09-2011, 11:55 PM

Wow, it looks like the PO was a little drill happy. I'm glad to hear you got that fixed correctly.....looks good. It'll be much safer now. The adapter plates now come with a template that works better for postioning the adapter plate.
