1955 Pontiac LS upgrade

[kwhizz]

So…… The first thing that needed to be fixed was to install the new power steering box…….The new box will need the mounting holes modified in the frame for mounting the modern box conversion……… And as Luck would have it the Stock Pitman Arm spline was different from the first box we tried……… Gonna use a GM 605 box next as in a previous swap thread by others it was noted that the Spline in the 605 box is the same as the stock Pitman arm……. Thought we would try with a better box than the 605 but that didn’t work out too well…. Won’t be the last time things didn’t go according to plan…..

Cool Project! I did a 605 box conversion in a 55 Chevy 10 years ago and the factory pitman arm spline does indeed match up.

Here are a few photos of the crude mounting bracket I made to accomplish this.
