Steering Box The right numbers for the job?

[Greg C.]

Hey guys!
I took out my steering box to have it rebuilt... but I don't want to send it off if its not the right box... so to speak.

The numbers on the body are 5677649 and the top seems to have 3 sets of numbers....
332 6723 79

Am I in the right ballpark? Its a NOM driver... any help would be appreciated.

It's correct and probably original to the car. All of the cover bolts might not be original, though.

Thanks for the heads up...

Where does one get the correct bolts for a steering box?

Greg,

Here's a picture of the original on my 67, I believe the attaching bolts are grade 5 NAT bolts.

Here's off my late '65, with the "NAT" bolt headmarkings (bottom pic).

Greg,

Gary Ramadei who is on the board has a great reputation rebuilding C2/C3 steering boxes. He might be able to come up with the correct bolts too.

Mke...
Ha! I am in contact with him... he is the one rebuilding my box! He says he doesn't have any bolts at the moment though....
