american steering box swap

[russ hathaway <russh97309@xxxxxxxxx>]

I read the later posts of the swap, and the poster
said it sounded like a lot of trouble. It isn't. It is
not a walk in the park, but it isn't hard either. 
A manual swap is easy, you will need the box (67 and
up) with pitman arm still attached, rubber biscuit (I
cut down a junk tire to make mine), newer column
(preferably American, Hornet/Gremmie will work) and
usual garage tools and supplys. Just pay attention to
where everything comes off.
A power box entails the extra pump and assorted
hardwear. A spacer comes with it, so grab that. You
might need to adapt some washers as shims. 
But in my 64 is a nice Hornet tilt power set up that
looks right at home and with that 2-piece column I can
now survive the 60 MPH head on collision with any
school bus on the road, and it only took a morning to swap.....Russ
