My 54' wagon got a manual saginaw from a 67' impala, the kit was from 4 Wheelers supply in Phx. It had the bolt on plate to be welded to the frame, two spicer u-joints, and the tie rod kit. Had to find my own steering box, and had the steering shaft turned down to fit the spicer joints. Was convinced to up-grade after the bell crank linkage failed while moving off road..

As I understand it, the bolt pattern for the Saginaw manual and power steering boxes are the same so you can change from one type to the other if wanted.? When sourcing a Sag box, of course, it's advisable to get one with a slower ratio - the 3 bolt Cherokee unit I got gave about 4-1/4 turns lock to lock - similar to the Ross original.
