Crossover steering

[pbritchie]

So Im going with a crossover steering kit for a gm d60 and was curious what year model 2wd steering box would be the best for me?

One of about the same year, '81-up I think. That way you know your steering shaft and lines will bolt up.

What particular vendor are you going with? Or home built?? (for the crossover setup)

Pretty much any square steering box will work even some of the 67-72 (all iirc actually) will work actually. Just make sure that your application matches for hose fitment, here are piloted with o-ring (better) 1980+ or compression 1979 back otherwise you will end up like me with a compression pump and a pilotted box and will require an expensive hose to cnnect the 2, I actually had both and it still cost me 90 bucks at a hose shop to have the ends pit on a new hose.

I believe they make little adapter fittings so you can use your stock lines.

Yea I was going to get one from advance for a 85 c10 and then bring my core up there a little later hoping they don't realize what I just handed them ain't what I was supposed to return. I just wasn't sure if one year model was possibly better than another. Thanks
