Did they make Thirdgen's with manual steering or do I have to hunt for something compatible.

If So what is compatible with a thirgen for a steering box.

Thanks

 

no. Look for one from a 4 cyl S-10

The S-10/S-15 manual box is a direct bolt-in. You could also use the pitman arm but it's got a slightly different bend to it. It doesn't take much to reinstall the f-body pitman arm on the S-10 manual box.

You won't want to use a manual box if you're still running wide front tires.

hey PK long time no see. i put a manual box on my camaro, out of an 80 something s10. direct fit, had to change the pitman arm because there is a slight differance, but i bet you could use either if you wanted.

Thanks guys. Any particular year.. say like the 80's ones or does the interchangeability run into the 90's

 

mine came from a 80's truck but i bet about any will work. a thirdgen box fits a 1st gen f body.

 

sorry to bump this ancient thread, but i couldnt find any help, i have a s 10 man box that i bought, but the worm gear is smaller/shorter then the power box. anyone know where to get an extension/reducer?

 

Does your manual box have a 3 or 4 bolt top cover? You want the one with the 4 bolt cover. With the right box, this is a direct swap. Mine was out of a '90 s-10.

 

crap, its a 3 bolt. guess i should of done some research before i bought this box, the guy had one in his car, said it was a direct bolt in but i could see he had an extsion on it.

 

And you had to find this old thread to dig up? There are many newer threads explaining the 3 bolt, 4 bolt top cover versions.

As stated above, you need the 4 bolt top cover box to be a direct swap. Some people have managed to convert the 3 bolt cover box to make it work but with the smaller sized shafts, it's a lot of work.

It was interesting to see my old sig. Back in 2001, I was only running 11.4's at 119 mph That was with my first BBC.

 

yea, i was using the search. but hey at least u got a blast from the past. btw i like your car, i had been looking into your back halfing on your site.
