Looking for help sourcing manual steering center draglink etc. I have some power steering components in my frame but need/want to switch over to all manual components. So I can install a "modern" style power gearbox.
I've posted in the parts wanted, browsed the web etc. Coming up short so far.

Thank you.

I may be able to swap some parts for you. What power steering parts to you have? I want the original old school PS on one of my cars and am willing to swap the manual items for power. Dan

I have everything but the power steering cylinder cylinder mount , hoses and pump I believe. Pictures are included.
I'm still trying to figure out what all is interchangeable from power to manual. I have (2) different books seem to be conflicting. I know I need the center draglink, looks like idler arms are different.... But any help is much appreciated. For instance this part #3130 I'm pointing at. Is that interchangeable between power/manual models?
One of the pics is with the frame upside down so it's a pretty good look. I believe the power cylinder bracket is missing. I will unbolt and mail anything that would be useful to you.
Thank you.

Part 3130 is the same with or without PS. You will need the Idler arm, and drag link to convert back to manual steering. The steering box is the same as are the tie rods. My email address is Cokefirst@******* and my phone number is 909-633-8778 if you want to chat. Thanks
