'55-57 Chevy Steering Components
'55-57 Drag-Link Adapter
This adapter must be used when converting a power steering
equipped '55-57 Chevy to a new GM 605 system. It allows the
original power steering drag link and pitman arm to be used
with the new box. Otherwise, you must replace the original drag link
with one from a manual steering car.
Get rid of that old leaky ram
assembly and control valve...
Bolt-On 605 Conversion
Vastly improve the steering feel of your classic Chevy with our new bolt-on
GM 605 conversion kit. The 605 is GMs most compact power steering box
and works great in the limited space available. The extended sector shaft is a
sealed separate assembly with its own lubrication. The heavy-duty bracket
bolts to the original three mounting holes in the frame and utilizes a second
strap on the outside of the frame to stiffen the box. The original
pitman arm can be used with the new box.
Weld-On Conversion
Same conversion as the bolt-on
assembly except the upper bracket
welds to the frame. The lower bracket bolts to the three original steering box
bolt holes on the frame. Specify whether your
car has the seamed or seamless style frame.
'55-57 Chevy Hose Kits
Stainless Steel or OEM style 2-piece rubber hose kits are available for late model
power steering conversions with self-contained pumps. Remote style pumps use
3-piece hose kit that must be custom made for each application. Call for details.
'55-57 Chevy Steering Column Shaft
Use this shaft if you want to convert to late model power steering but want
to use the original steering column. With this shaft, you dont have to cut up
the original steering box and shaft. The shaft is splined to accept the factory
style flex joint shown above. No other shafting or joints are needed.
'55-57 Chevy Pivoting Aluminum Floor Mount
Late-model steering columns are harder to mount in Classic Chevys because
of the large irregular shaped hole in the firewall. This plate bolts to existing
bolt holes in the floor and securely and neatly mounts the bottom of the column. Polished or machined finish center ring swivels for easy alignment.
For 2" diameter GM or after market columns.
Power Steering Conversion Flex Joints
The custom OEM style flex joints are designed to mate a 55-57 Chevy
with original or custom column to the 605 conversion above.
