Steering gear arc of travel? 1955

Posted by 64avanti On 2015/8/7 12:10:29

Might someone know the degrees of steering gear travel for a '55? Would it be the same for 1951 to 1956?
The reason for my question is that I am thinking about adding power steering to my 55 by cutting the bottom off of the column on my Three-on-the-tree car & adding a flange for a more modern Saginaw box (Or anything else that may work)
By running the Packard/Eaton pump & brackets, things would still be fairly un offensive looking under the hood :)
My first step will be to find a compatible box and plan from there.
I presume that finding a column shift for a '56 with a separate box & column would be tough?
Thanks guys!
