32 frame question

Just wondering how far the lower edge of the gearbox opening in an original 32 k-member is, when measured from the top of the frame rail?

Knowing this measurement allows one to determine if a non- original gearbox will fit into the opening without disturbing the lower portion of the k-member, given that the upper portion may have to be removed.

I hope I've explained myself adequately.
Thanks

 

Anyone got a tape measure handy?

 

Your not asking the right question. The hole for the steering box does NOT go throught the K-member, but through the frame side rail ahead of the left leg of the K-member.

Hopefully this will help you out. If you need anything more let me know.

 

It's looking like 7 1/2" from the bottom of the trans opening to the top of the K member. Frank, I too thought that he was refering to a steering gear box but then realized it was the ****** gearbox I hope anyway?!

 

Thank-you very much.

Thats exactly what I needed to know.

I guess you guys call a gearbox - a transmission, whereas we call a steering box - a steeringbox
We call an automatic gearbox a transmission or an auto.

No wonder English is such a hard language for non-English speaking people to learn, especially when us native English-speaking people cannot agree on terminology.

 

I've often wondered if actually being awake would make any difference when trying to decipher an question. I got less than 2 hours sleep last night and after a nap this morning I sure qualify for a swift kick in the *** over this one. Sure, the terms differ from one country to another so I'll use that as my excuse.
Hope a more aware answer has helped you.
