Re: 68 manual steering box question?
The August 1968 issue of Chevrolet Service News has an article that may apply to your car. "1967 Camaro Manual Steering Gears Used in 1968 Production" states that Norwood builds from N438680-N448071 and LA builds from L338182-L359064 [est] had '67 manual steering gears. It was notable because they had to also use 1967 steering arms, pitman and idler arms. 1968 components were different.

This is my 68 manual steering box all rebuilt. Is this the same unit as the 67 camaro you were referring to? [/ QUOTE ] No, that is a '68 pitman arm and a '68 steering box. The assembly date indicates it was put together on the 124th day of 1968. -Jon

Re: 68 manual steering box question?
I've seen both combos in my travels. There is both aluminum and cast, but I haven't been able to ascertain what goes with what car/engine combo. My best bet has always been to restore the unit that came off of the vehicle. Just when I think that I have a year or application nailed down, Saginaw boxes tell me somethin' different.
 PS - If anyone needs their manual steering boxes restored and rebuilt, jus' lemmie know.  Casey 734-439-8850 (My shameless plug.....)

Re: 68 manual steering box question?
Casey did a fantastic job on the box for my Chevelle.
Speaking of which, Casey, I just recently figured out what happened to my old pitman arm, so I need to send you a pitman arm back. My apologies for your inconvenience, it wound up being a brain cramp on my part.  Could you email me your mailing address again? Thanks. Eric
