Brooklyn Beer Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 One of the projects for this year is to swap out the worn steering linkage on my 1963 Dodge 880. With that I would also like to rebuild / replace the extremely worn steering box and it's 2 inches of wheel play. Would not mind just swapping it out with a rebuilt unit and then rebuilding this one as a spare and learning experience. I do not have an interchange manual so if anyone can help a guy out and tell me what years will work? Pretty sure it is most of the 60's chrysler products that do. And any leads on the best prices for parts. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Manual or power? A quick web search seems to reveal that they used the same steering box on a wide variety of models 1963 -76. New, rebuilt boxes and rebuild kits are available. I have no experience on this so can not comment further except that you might browse some online ads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Tharp Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 This is Dale in Montana w Mopar Heaven I have a 1960 Chrysler that I think is low miles because a tree fell on it yrs. ago and was taken out of service, I haven’t looked to see if it’s power steering or not.

Brooklyn Beer Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Dale is it a power steering gear box? I do not know if a steering box from a 60 will fit for a 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
