Stock steering box

Hope this doesn't sound too dumb...but will a small block chevy fit in
my 53 gmc with hugger headers or stock manifolds with the original steering box and column? I plan to go the ifs in the future but kind of hard to do motor, tranny, rear end and front all at once.

I don't know what's involved. Just wanted to comment on your truck. Nice!

Hey...thanks...got lucky and this old truck is in great shape...kinda hate to change things...but in future will have v8 and overdrive and air disc brakes..just can't drive 45 everywhere... At some point the 228 six and 4 speed will be for sale along with the rear end etc.

Re: Stock steering box

I just put a 283 in my '53 5 window. I tried block hugger headers and ram horn manifolds but the only manifolds that will fit are 55-56 chevy log style as they sweep upward and the drivers side has a front exit. They are probably not the greatest in terms of flow but they worked.
