Justin, the '68 box is a real bitch to get out because the steering column and steering box are joined together, theres no uni joint between them like the later model ones.
To get it out you have to jack the front of the car up, take off the steering wheel & ignition column thing and slide the whole shebang out of the front. You might be lucky doing it with the engine in but I took mine out while the motor was out too. hope this helps, Greg. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Justin Friedrichs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 12:06 PM Subject: SPEAR STEERING BOXES > > Listers, > I want to get rid of my 68 510's steering box and replace it with a 180B > style.
