When did they make the mopar aluminum Steering box

And whats the ratio??

What did they come in??

Looking for a period correct quicker and lighter box for my 64 camino, I'm kinda building a 67 or 68ish hot rod

 

the aluminum Mopar boxes were the manual units only

24:1 ratio 5 1/2 turns lock to lock

a list of some cars that came with it:

• 1976-1979 Dodge Aspen
• 1970-1974 Dodge Challenger
• 1966-1976 Dodge Charger
• 1966-1976 Dodge Coronet
• 1966-1976 Dodge Dart
• 1966-1974 Plymouth Barracuda
• 1966-1970 Plymouth Belvedere
• 1970-1974 Plymouth Cuda
• 1970-1976 Plymouth Duster
• 1966-1978 Plymouth Fury
• 1968-1974 Plymouth Fury I
• 1968-1974 Plymouth Fury II
• 1968-1974 Plymouth Fury III
• 1972-1977 Plymouth Grand Fury
• 1967-1971 Plymouth GTX
• 1968-1975 Plymouth Roadrunner

• 1966-1976 Plymouth Valiant
• 1976-1979 Plymouth Volare

 

Will any of those boxes work in my '52 Desoto?

 

No, they are designed to fit the torsion bar suspension, they bolt on to the K member.

You might be able to make one work if you're good at fabricating, but I'd probably try something else thats easier to adapt.

 

There has to be a later GM box that will work.
