Manual Steering For 86 Z28?

Hey guys, are there any manual steering racks available for 86 Z28's? My dad and I are wanting to ditch the power steering crap off his Z28 and go with manual. Thanks!

84 - 92 S-10 is a direct bolt in. Just swap on the third gen's pitman arm because it's a different length.

Manual steering boxes are only in S10's that came with a 4 cylinder engine but not all 4 cylinders had manual steering.

You want the steering box that has 4 bolts on the top cover. The 3 bolt top cover is the early style. The sector shaft is smaller and would need an early style pitman arm.
