Chevelles and Camaros had them for sure. Some trucks, like early '80's S10s had them also. The input shaft changed somewhere along the line, from 13/16 down to 3/4. As a general rule Chevy truck steering gears mounted on the outside of the frame, and car gears mounted on the inside, so they won't interchange. Jeep CJ-5's also used a manual steering box identical to the 525. Try to get one with the pitman arm attached. Joe
