As long as you keep it in the parking lot. The way the CHP is cracking down on distracted driving here, if yours are doing the same you might get away with steering and maybe shifting on the road at the same time. If they caught you sipping the slurpee -- or on the phone and worse yet, texting while doing the other, that would probably be a hanging offense.
Are you thinking of something like the all in one Saginaw type boxes? Downside there is you have the long steering column lower attachment to think about on a 55 or else find a 56 setup. I wonder how hard it would be to gut and keep a basic Packard box for mounts and bearings etc but replace the shaft and extend it to do a rack and pinion PS. There is an ebay vendor that keeps showing some kind of power rack assy. He says it fits a Packard but haven't seen any photos or know of anyone who has actually used that approach.
t should be MUCH easier to steer, shift & hold that slurpee while negotiating parking lots
