3rd Gen Steering gearbox

Will a 3rd Gen steering gearbox bolt up to a 2nd Gen frame and will the lines be the same?

 

 

I have a chance to buy one and was thinking of swapping mine out.

 

 

Thanks!!!

I don't believe the 3rd gen steering box will fit the 2nd gen. Several years ago, Opieparts was making an adapter to put the 3rd gen box on a 2nd gen. Last time I looked, I couldn't find the adapter on his site.

Being a 3rd Gen box is a Ford Steering box and 2nd Gen is a Sagnaw box I really doubt it. Not to mention the fluid requirements for the 3rd gen is ATF and 2nd Gen is Power steering fluid. You can't cross them with the wrong fluid. You would have to convert everything over to 3rd Gen (Pump, Hydro booster and Steering box) to resolve the fluid issue. 

 

Personally not worth it.
