    long, long ago I swapped from power to manual steering. I needed a...manual drag link. Mike (M.A.V.) gave me one off a parts car he had.
    when I went to...Rack-N-Pinion...I gave it to Jeff (rthomas771) to do his swap. he gave it to Collin (the punisher) when he went to manual steering. the other day Collin gave Jeff the drag link back and he gave it back to me, now I am going to give it back to Mike...
    that's 7 times it changed hands and not once was any money exchanged for it...:thumbs2:
    that's the way... The Ga. Posse ...rolls...:cool:

    What comes around ...goes around...and around...and around...and around. lol
    Will the manual steering work from a 71 to 75.
    If so, What parts do I need to get off the 71 for the change over?

    Thanks.
    Will the power steering box on the 75 work?
    Or will I have to use the 71 steering box too.

    oh your not alone it just we haven't bumped into each other yet. i hide too well behind work right now and have only been at this since April.
    it will you just have to be a little stronger at a standing turn with the power box but it will turn faster while you are moving. because of the gear ratio difference between the two.
